Judah is Jacob's fourth son, and his early life is every bit as sordid as that of his three older brothers. But Judah's view of himself and others changes after his humiliation at the hands of his daughter-in-law, and Judah is the first of Jacob's sons to receive a blessing from his father, Jacob, on his deathbed, rather than a curse.
