Another thought-provoking video BP. I think this is an especially discussion-worthy section of Genesis. My primary takeaway from this story was the importance of admitting you are wrong when you are clearly in the wrong. In this case, Judah demands that Tamar be burned for her "supposed" immorality. However, when Tamar presents evidence proving that Judah himself is the father, he acknowledges his wrongdoing and confesses that Tamar is more righteous than he is. Now, with that said, I'm not sure if it's a good thing that Judah ONLY admitted his wrong-doing once evidence was brought against him. So, for that reason, I think this needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Great insight, and also shows the importance of context. By itself, it's still hard to get behind Judah, but this is set right before the bulk of Joseph's story in which Judah will play a significant role. His journey is not over yet.
