Description

The story that inspired De Gelder’s painting occurs in chapter 38 of the book of Genesis. There it is told how Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, married off the eldest of his three sons, Er, to Tamar. The marriage remained childless, for “Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him” (Genesis 38:7). After Er’s death, his brother Onan - now bound by the Law of Levirate to marry Tamar - refused to procreate in his brother’s place and was likewise slain by God (Genesis 38:9–10). After the still-childless Tamar was prevented by Judah from marrying his youngest son, Shelah, and Judah’s wife had died, Tamar - dressed as a prostitute - seduced her unsuspecting father-in-law. “When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; because she had covered her face” (Genesis 38:15). As payment, Judah promised Tamar a kid from his flock and gave her three pledges. “And he said, what pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him” (Genesis 38:18). When her pregnancy was discovered, Tamar was accused of harlotry and condemned, also by Judah, to death by burning. Only when she came forth with the pledges did Judah admit his guilt and she was spared. The offspring produced by Tamar and her father-in-law were the twins Pharez and Zarah.

The special meaning to Christianity of the story of Judah and Tamar lies in the fact that the “indecent relationship” between the two produced Pharez who, according to Matthew 1:3 (see also Luke 3:33), was a forefather of David and therefore an ancestor of Christ. Tamar thus appears in the genealogical tree as the progenitrix of the royal house from which - in addition to David and Solomon - Christ was born. Tamar’s significance for the genealogy of Christ therefore explains her important role in patristic literature and later biblical exegesis. For example, Tamar is equated with the Church (ekklesia), which gave twins to Judah, son of the patriarch Jacob. In other readings, Judah’s surrendering of his staff and signet to Tamar is interpreted as a reference to Christ, who gave the Church his treasures: the seal of faith and belief in the Cross. Nonetheless, pictorial representations of the story of Judah and Tamar are rare in medieval art. Even series of prints from the late Middle Ages and Renaissance that center on representations of men who were the victims of crafty women - and certainly Judah could count among them - do not include this couple.
