Genesis 38 · Grade 2

Judah Admits He Was Wrong

Name Date

Read the Story

While Joseph was in Egypt, his brother Judah lived in Canaan. Judah made a promise to a woman named Tamar, but he did not keep it. That was wrong.

Later, Tamar showed Judah that he had done wrong. Judah said, She is more righteous than I. Judah admitted his sin. Admitting you were wrong is an important step.

Tamar had twin boys named Perez and Zerah. Many years later, King David was born in Perez's family. The New Testament says Jesus was born in that same family line!

Memory Verse

“In the time of her travail, behold, twins were in her womb.”
