TSNTyndale Study Notes:

38:1-30 The story of Judah and Tamar is a carefully placed interlude; it reports what was happening in the family of Judah, who would later rise to prominence, and it shows the beginnings of assimilation with the people of the land to help explain why God sent the family to Egypt (chs 39–47). The Egyptians were strict separatists (43:32); the Israelites would retain their unique identity better in Egypt than in Canaan.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִ֥י בְ⁠לִדְתָּ֖⁠הּ

and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,giving_birth,she

See how you translated giving birth in Gen 35:16. This may need to be translated differently here because of the different context. Alternate translation: “As she was starting to deliver her babies,”

וַ⁠יִּתֶּן יָ֑ד

and,put_out hand

Alternate translation: “one of the twins put out his hand”

וַ⁠תִּקַּ֣ח הַ⁠מְיַלֶּ֗דֶת וַ⁠תִּקְשֹׁ֨ר עַל־יָד֤⁠וֹ שָׁנִי֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר

and=she/it_took the,midwife and,tied on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=hand scarlet_thread to=say

The midwife did this because it was her responsibility to identify which baby was the firstborn. See how you translated midwife in Gen 35:17. Alternate translation: “Then the midwife who was there tied a bright red thread on his wrist and said,” or “So the midwife who was helping her …”

זֶ֖ה יָצָ֥א רִאשֹׁנָֽה

this he/it_went_forth first

Alternate translation: “This one was born first.”
