Biblical Parallels Index – Bereshit 38

This topic has not yet undergone editorial review

Tamar, Lot’s Daughters, and Rut

There are numerous parallels between the stories of Yehuda and Tamar, Lot’s daughters, and Megillat Rut -- all stories of women (who are related to each other) rebuilding families in unconventional ways in the wake of disaster.

Tools

  • Tanakh Lab demonstrates that one of the chapters which shares the most linguistic parallels to Bereshit 38 (the story of Yehuda and Tamar) is Bereshit 19 (the story of Lot and his daughters).  To compare the two, see here. Bereshit 19, in turn, has many parallels to the book of Rut. To compare them, see here.

Articles

Tamar and Rivka There are a number of parallels between the stories of Tamar and Rivka, including their conclusions in which the birth story of Peretz and Zerach (Bereshit 38:27-30) parallels the birth story of Yaakov and Esav (Bereshit 25:19-26). Peretz pushes his way ahead of his brother and Zerach’s scarlet thread calls to mind Esav’s redness.

Tools

  • Use the Tanakh Lab to compare the two birth stories.

Articles

Yosef and Yehuda There are a number of parallels and contrasts between the story of Yehuda’s encounter with Tamar and of Yosef’s encounter with Mrs. Potiphar,

Primary Sources

  • Ibn Ezra Bereshit 38:1 notes that the juxtaposition of the two stories (despite their not chronologically following one another) hints to the reader to compare and contrast the two.

Articles

  •  See Yosef and Yehuda by R. Michael Hattin for analysis of the parallels and contrasts, and the ideas they impart about different models of leadership.
