SEV Biblia, Chapter 38:26
Entonces Judá lo conoció, y dijo: Más justa es que yo, por cuanto no le he dado a Sela mi hijo. Y nunca más la conoció.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 38:26
Verse 26. She hath been more righteous than I] It is probable that Tamar was influenced by no other motive than that which was common to all the Israelitish women, the desire to have children who might be heirs of the promise made to Abraham, &c. And as Judah had obliged her to continue in her widowhood under the promise of giving her his son Shelah when he should be of age, consequently his refusing or delaying to accomplish this promise was a breach of truth, and an injury done to Tamar.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The profligate conduct of Judah and his family. --This chapter gives an account of Judah and his family, and such a account it is, that it seems a wonder that of all Jacob's sons, ou Lord should spring out of Judah, Heb 7:14. But God will show that his choice is of grace and not of merit, and that Christ came into the world to save sinners, even the chief. Also, that the worthiness of Christ is of himself, and not from his ancestors. How little reason ha the Jews, who were so called from this Judah, to boast as they did, Jo 8:41. What awful examples the Lord proclaims in his punishments, of his utter displeasure at sin! Let us seek grace from God to avoid ever appearance of sin. And let that state of humbleness to which Jesu submitted, when he came to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, in appointing such characters as those here recorded, to be his ancestors endear the Redeemer to our hearts __________________________________________________________________
