Perez
Perez was the son of Tamar and Judah, and the twin of Zerah. He was conceived after Tamar tricked her father-in-law Judah into having sex with her by disguising herself as a prostitute. Perez's name means "breach or burst forth," and it is said that he was born with a caul, a piece of membrane that covers the head of a newborn baby. This caul was considered to be a sign of good luck, and Perez went on to become a successful man.
Tamar
Tamar was a woman with a complicated life. She was the daughter-in-law of Judah, but she was also his lover. She had two children by him, the twins Perez and Zerah. Tamar's story is one of love, loss, and redemption.
Tamar was first married to Judah's son Er. But Er died young, and Judah promised to give Tamar his other son, Onan, in marriage. However, Onan refused to have children with Tamar, so that his own inheritance would not be divided. This angered God, and he killed Onan as well.
Judah was now left with a problem. He had promised Tamar to marry his son, but both of his sons were now dead. He didn't want to marry her himself, because he was too old. So he told Tamar to go back to her father's house and wait until he could find a husband for her.
Tamar was not happy with this. She knew that Judah had promised her to marry his son, and she was determined to have his children. So she disguised herself as a prostitute and waited for Judah to come by. When he did, she seduced him and had two children by
