“And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.”
When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. The twins in Tamar's womb echo the twins in Rebekah's womb — the pattern of twins repeating in the covenant family. The application: the twins who will emerge from Tamar are the continuation of the Judah line — the line through which the messianic promise runs.
