Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Si enim posteaquam Joseph venit in Ægyptum, etc., usque ad incidisse eum in amorem ejus, quam duxit uxorem, nondum vendito Joseph. Judas, etc. Hic, sicut cæteri patriarchæ, Christum significat, qui descendit ab baptismum Joannis. Hiras enim interpretatur videns Deum: Odollamites, testimonium in aqua, quia Joannes videns Christum venientem ad baptismum, ait: Ecce Agnus Dei, etc. Joan. 1 Ad hoc testimonium adhæsit Christo Synagoga, quam significat Sue, filia Chananæi, quia ei danda erat terra humilis professionis, quod interpretatur Chanaan. Hæc ergo Synagoga primo adhæsit Christo, quando Petrus et Andreas, et cæteri Joannis discipuli facti sunt discipuli Christi.

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.

The word Adullamite refers to the fact that Hirah was from the town of Adullam; it is not the name of a people group. The town of Adullam was about 19 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of the city of Hebron (37:14), and was lower in elevation, which is why the text says that Judah went down to get there. Alternate translation: [and lived in the town of Adullam near the home of a man from there] or [to the town of Adullam and lived near the home of a man from there]
