A understanding of Genesis thirty-eight is under of correct exegesis about Levitate Marriage in Deuteronomy twenty-five. The term of LEVIRATE in Levitate Marriage, from the law-Latin term LEVIR, a Husband's brother, the name applied to an ancient usage of the Hebrews, reordained by Moses(Gen.38; Deut.25 : 5-10).
The Levitate Marriage requires when an Israelite died without leaving male issue, his brother with him was compelled to many the widow, and continue his deceased brother's family through the first-born son issuing from such union as the heir of the former husband. If the second also died without progeny, she could ask the third, and so on. The object of this Levirate Marriage is to raise up seed to the departed brother.
We are told this Levitate Marriage in Genesis thirty-eight. Er, Judah's eldest son , who was married to Tamar, died without issue. The second son, Onan, was called upon to marry his deceased brother's widow. An that when he again died leaving no children, Tamar, the widow, has still a claim upon the only surviving son, Shelah, for whom she had to wait, as he was not as yet marriageable. but Judah, father-in-law, did not give Shelah as her husband to Tamar, daughter-in-law.
Ultimately Judah himself had to many his daughter-in-law, Tamar, for she inveigled him into it as a punishment for neglected to give her his third son, Selah. Judah was the father of Perez, whose mother was Tamar. Perez was in a record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ(Matt. 1:3). And Perez, the issue of this Levitate marriage, not only became the founder of numerous and illustrious family, but was the direct line from which the royal family of David descended, and the channel through which the Messiah was born(Gen, 38:21; Matt. 1:3).
Also Onan, Selah and Judah in Genesis thirty-eight twas Levir, Goel(??). They was Goel who had to raise up seed in place of died brother. Also Jesus Christ as Goel(??) has died in place of sinners. Therefore Jesus Christ was last Goel(??). He died in place of us, sinners.
