GENESIS CHAPTER 38… (Read so that the following lesson will be better comprehended.)

1st Chronicles 5:1-2… “Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s…”

Joseph, the beloved son of the father, has been delivered up and sold to the Gentiles…the Anti-type being Jesus delivered up and sold to the Gentiles to be Crucified. (Isaiah 52:13-53:12) The affairs of Joseph are being orchestrated, and later documented, by the Father in His Word, to later reveal the hidden things/mysteries of His Salvation Plan to the eye of faith in the New Testament understanding of His Son’s Atonement to return the ‘image’ of God in man that had been lost in the Garden. (Luke 24:27, 1st Corinthians 10:6,11, John 5:39)

Joseph, the favored son of the father, and the leading candidate for the firstborn blessing of the Promised Seed, had been dealt with by satan (so he thought), hereafter to be killed or absorbed into the Egyptian/World’s culture.

Judah prevails among Jacob’s sons as the new candidate for the firstborn blessing, while Joseph’s life is obscured. The corruption of the seed of Jacob by the Canaanites due to their willingness to intermarry with the family of Jacob (and being absorbed by them) ever looms, as satan focuses his attention on Judah to frustrate the purposes of God, and Judah succumbs to temptation. God intervenes until Judah’s shame is sorrowfully exposed (of Genesis 37:26-27) and he leaves off in the marriage of Canaanites.

The soon coming famine descending upon the Promised Land answers to satan’s attempt to destroy the line of the Promised Seed (satan being determined to wipe out the seed of Abraham from who the Promised Seed of Genesis 3:15 will come). But the wisdom of God sees past the drought and He purposes for Israel’s family to sojourn into Egypt until a Nation of His chosen seed emerge, able to accomplish His purposes in the Promised Land. God’s autonomy for the chosen family could be safe-guarded in Egypt, where there was an aversion to strangers, and especially shepherds, who were an abomination unto the Egyptians. (See Genesis 46:31-34… “And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.” Note the purpose in revealing that they were shepherds was so they’d be physically set apart in the Land of Goshen, which is a contributing factor as to what saved them later during the time of the 10 plagues which God smote Egypt with.)

Judah’s actions concerning what he had done to his brother Joseph weighed heavily on him and led him morally to low places, away from his mourning father where he Judah fails in the grace of the faith, that of knowing who he is in Covenant with God… and takes a Canaanite to wife (Genesis 9:25 - as we have already previously considered and expounded upon the danger of who the Canaanites were and God’s ‘why’ in the command not to take wives of them. Thus, Judah was breaking the covenant with Yahweh by marrying her. Regardless, it was at the least a ‘harlotry’ played by Judah against God). The judgement deaths of 2 of 3 of Judah’s seed born of the Canaanite woman led to his sleeping unawares with his daughter-in-law Tamar, from whom came twin sons Pharez the first born, and Zarah. One main significance being that the Holy Spirit records Pharez as the line from which King David and Jesus the Promised Seed should come.

Judah’s story of Chapter 38 intervenes just after and covers most of the 22 years between Joseph’s being sold and the family of Jacob’s going to settle in Egypt’s Goshen. So it is, that 22 years is....
