Exquisite.
Makes me think “Tamar” would be a rich name for a daughter.
Some great paintings. Of note for me are #7 Vernet; #8 Hoet; #17 Kozenitzky; #26 Guercino, #33 Cabanel.
Thank you, Dan.
Any day is a great day when I can post Bible-art for your always-appreciative eye, Alba.
Thanks for this post, Hebrews.
The story of Tamar and Judah is one of the great teaching stories of the Old Testament. It’s one of my favorites. For some reason, it is not included in any of the standard lectionaries and almost never heard from the pulpit.
It is a wonderful tale, certainly. Judah gets his comeuppance at the hands of a clever woman, she gets recognition, and Jesus gets an ancestor.
I didn’t find enough art to fill out a thread, so I tacked on the other Tamar.
Thanks for commenting.
Dan
and to Judah’s credit
she lived under his protection for the remainder of her days
With her twins and his grandsons.
It was Reuben, not Judah, who was distressed previously by his brothers’ sale of Joseph. Now, perhaps the Holy Spirit is—at last—making some headway with him.
Hello Dan; greatly enjoying this ministry!
What other book truthfully reveals the best and worst of such giants of history? And these paintings speak to some of them.
Thank You Dan!
That is the while point: everyone is fatally flawed and needs God's Savior.
