ClVg Nuntiatumque est Thamar quod socer illius ascenderet in Thamnas ad tondendas oves.[fn]
(Nuntiatumque it_is Thamar that socer illius ascenderet in Thamnas to tondendas oves. )
38.13 Ad tondendas oves. STRAB. Allegorice. Venit Dominus ad oves tondendas, id est peccatis exonerandas, de quibus dicitur: Dentes tui sicut greges tonsarum. Thamar habitum mutat: nam et commutans interpretatur; mutat habitum et nomen, ut sit de Synagoga Ecclesia. Sed nomen amaritudinis manet: non in qua fel Domino ministravit, sed in qua Petrus amare flevit. Nam et Judas Confessio dicitur, Confessioni ergo amaritudo misceatur, ut vera pœnitentia præsignetur. Hæc pœnitentia fecundatur, in omnibus gentibus Ecclesia constituta. Oportebat enim pati Christum, et resurgere, et prædicari in nomine ejus pœnitentiam et remissionem peccatorum per omnes gentes. Habitus quoque meretricis confessio peccatorum est: Thamar quippe Ecclesiam de gentibus vocatam significat; sedens cum hoc habitu ad portam Enaiim, quod interpretatur fons: quia currebat velut cervus ad fontes aquarum, pervenire ad semen Abrahæ. Illo non cognoscente fecundatur, secundum illud Psalmi 17. Populus, quem non cognovi, servivit mihi. Accepit in occulto annulum, monile, et virgam, quia vocatione signatur, justificatione decoratur, glorificatione exaltatur. Quos autem prædestinavit, hos et vocavit; et quos vocavit, hos et justificavit Rom. 8; sed in occulto, ubi conceptio sanctæ ubertatis fit.
38.13 Ad tondendas oves. STRAB. Allegorice. Venit Master to oves tondendas, id it_is sins exonerandas, about to_whom it_is_said: Dentes yours like flocks tonsarum. Thamar habitum mutat: nam and commutans interpretatur; mutat habitum and nomen, as let_it_be about Synagoga Ecclesia. But nomen amaritudinis manet: not/no in which fel Master ministravit, but in which Petrus amare flevit. Nam and Yudas Confessio it_is_said, Confessioni therefore amaritudo misceatur, as vera pœnitentia præsignetur. This pœnitentia fecundatur, in to_all nations Ecclesia constituta. Oportebat because pati Christum, and resurgere, and prædicari in nomine his pœnitentiam and remissionem sinners through everyone gentes. Habitus too meretricis confessio sinners it_is: Thamar quippe Ecclesiam about nations vocatam significat; sitting when/with this habitu to the_gate Enaiim, that interpretatur fons: because currebat velut cervus to fontes waterrum, pervenire to seed Abrahæ. Illo not/no cognoscente fecundatur, after/second illud Psalmi 17. Populus, which not/no cognovi, servivit mihi. Accepit in occulto annulum, monile, and rod/staffm, because vocatione signatur, justificatione decoratur, glorificatione exaltatur. Quos however prædestinavit, hos and he_called; and which he_called, hos and justificavit Rom. 8; but in occulto, where conceptio sanctæ ubertatis fit.
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.
