The Promised Seed of Judah

Genesis 38: 1-30

Genesis 38, though vulgar to the natural eye, is a beautiful picture of how Christ, our redeemer, came into this world. Judah leaves his fathers house and goes down to a cursed place to take a wife and produce an heir for his names sake. Like the bride of Christ her name is never mentioned. She is known only by association with her natural father, her marriage to Judah, and the sons she produces by his seed. The seed of the woman (Genesis 3: 15) is the promised Redeemer whose coming has been foretold from the beginning. This is the seed that God promised to Abraham (Galatians 3: 16), confirmed in Isaac (Romans 9: 7), and Jacob whose sons are called the children of Israel.

Judah’s bride produced three sons for her husband. The first son, Er, stands as a type for all natural men and dies under the judgment of God for his wickedness. Her second son, Onan, stands as a type of natural Israel who is called upon to raise up seed to his dead brother’s name but refused to do it; not seeing how it would benefit or glorify him and so he cast his seed upon the ground. Her third son, Shelah, was not yet of age and could not be given to Tamar. She is commanded to live as a widow until such time as his father deemed right.

Shelah whose name is taken from the same root word as Shiloh gives us the key to all that takes place in this story. Judah could not bring himself to give his youngest son to Tamar because he believed by this union his youngest son would suffer the same fate as his other two sons. The promised son of Judah could not be produced by his natural sons. It will be the seed of the father himself in her womb that produces the promised seed of God. (Matthew 1: 18-23)

We are not left to speculate on how these things relate to the promised Messiah. With full spiritual understanding, the patriarch Jacob blessed his beloved son Judah saying, “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a law giver from between his feet until Shiloh come.” (Genesis 49: 10) And not only did Jacob understand this spiritual type but years later at the marriage of Ruth and Boaz the people blessed their marriage saying, “Let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. (Ruth 4: 12)

What a treasure house is the word of God and how our hearts burn within us as he opens to us the scriptures. May the Lord be pleased for Christ’s sake to use this article to that end.
