bow down before thee. 9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son,
thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old
lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah,
nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him
shall the gathering of the people be. 11 Binding his foal unto the vine,

Judah’s Blessing
Genesis 49:8–12: 8 Judah, thou art he whom thy
brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the
neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall
bow down before thee. 9 Judah is a lion’s whelp:
from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he
stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an
old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre
shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be. 11
Binding his foal unto th evine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his
garments in wine, and his clothers in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with
wine, and his teeth white with milk.
From E. Raymond Capt’s Missing Links Discovered in the Assyrian Tablets: Judah’s primary
emblem, the LION, is usually shown in a couchant (dormant) position. We note that the
Lion, in a variety of positions, is an emblem common to nearly all sections of Celto-Saxon
people. It appears in their Royal and National Arms, in their Provincial and Municipal Arms
and in the Arms of hundreds of their old families.
The LION is a national emblem found in the Arms of the Netherlands, Belgium, Northern
Ireland, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as in the
emblem of many of their provinces and cities.
Judah’s secondary emblem features THREE LIONS, either couchant or rampant. This
emblem is common to many sections of the Celto-Saxon people. It is the national emblem
of both England and Denmark. In Britain it appears in the Royal Standard and on the shiled
of the Royal Arms. It is also the chief emblem in the Arms of Appleby, Chester, Dorset,
Great Yarmouth, Hereford, Sandwich, Hastings, Jersey, and Guernsey. In Ireland, it appears
in the Arms of Drogheda. In Denmark, it is part of both the Royal and the National Arms.

Place in the Heavenly Story
Leo completes the circle that

began with Virgo. The riddle of
the sphinx: Virgo is the head, and
Leo is the tail. Leo marks the end
of the Revelation as inspired in
the Word. Leo is the Lion of the
tribe of Judah aroused for the
rending of the prey. His feet are
over the head of Hydra, the great
serpent, and just about to
descend upon it and crush it. The
bird of prey is perched on the
serpent, and below is a plumed female figure holding out two cups, answering to Crater, the
cup of wrath.
Christ is called the “Lion of the Tribe of Judah.” Revelation 5:5: And one of the elders saith
unto me, “Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”
Hydra (The Serpent)

The Old Serpent Destroyed
The time has come for fulfillment of many prophecies pictured in the heavens: and in its
three final constellations we see the consummation of them all in the complete destruction
of the Old Serpent, and all his seed, and all his works. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah will
trample it under foot.
Hydra is pictured as the female serpent, the mother and author of all evil. It means he is
abhorred. It is an immense constellation extending for above 100 degrees from east to west,
beneath the Virgin, the Lion, and the Crab. It stretches 1/3 of the way around the whole
sphere of the heavens.

Crater (The Cup)

The cup of divine wrath poured out upon him
This is the cup of divine wrath. It is wide and deep, fastened on by the stars to the body of
the writhing serpent. The stars in the foot of the cup are part of the body of Hydra, and
belong to both constellations. There are 13 (the number of apostasy) stars in the
constellation.
Crater—13 Stars
(one of the third magnitude, four of the fourth magnitude)
á brightest star, located at the bottom of the cup, Al Ches, the Cup

And He poureth out of the same:
But the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out and drink them.
—Psalm 75:8
Upon the wicked He shall rain snares,

Fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest:
this shall be the portion of their cup.
—Psalm 11:6
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any man woship the beast
and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink
of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His
6
indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy
angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.”
—Revelation 14:9–10

“Take ye the sum of all the congregation
of the children of Israel, after their
families, by the house of their fathers,
with the number of their names, every
male by their polls; 3 From twenty years

Judah’s Order in the Wilderness Journeyings of Israel
Numbers 10:12–28: 12 And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of
Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran. 13 And they first took their journey
according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses. 14 In the first place went
the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his
host was Nahshon the son of Amminadab. 15 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Issachar was Nethaneel the son of Zuar. 16 And over the host of the tribe of the children
of Zebulun was Eliab the son of Helon. 17 And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons
of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle. 18 And the standard
of the camp of Reuben set forward according to their armies: and over his host was Elizur
the son of Shedeur. 19 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon was
Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai. 20 And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
was Eliasaph the son of Deuel. 21 And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary:
and the other did set up the tabernacle against they came. 22 And the standard of the

children of Asher was Pagiel the son of Ocran. 27 And over the host of the tribe of the

Caleb Chosen of Judah to Spy Out the Land of Canaan
Numbers 13:1–3; 6: 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 “Send thou men, that they
may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of
their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.” 3 And Moses by the
commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were
heads of the children of Israel. 6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, 4 “Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old
and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out
of the land of Egypt.” 19 The sons of Judah were Er and Onan: and Er and Onan died in the
land of Canaan. 20 And the sons of Judah after their families were; of Shelah, the family of

II Samuel 24:1–9: 1 And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He moved
David against them to say, “Go, number Israel and Judah.” 2 For the king said to Joab the
captain of the host, which was with him, “Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan
even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.”
3 And Joab said unto the king, “Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many
soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my LORD the king may see it: but why
doth my LORD the king delight in this thing?” 4 Notwithstanding the king’s word prevailed
against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host
went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel. 5 And they passed
over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the
river of Gad, and toward Jazer: 6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-
hodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon, 7 And came to the strong hold of
Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the
south of Judah, even to Beersheba. 8 So when they had gone through all the land, they
came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 And Joab gave up the sum
of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand
valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
10
Judah at War
Judah and Simeon War Against Canaanites
Judges 1:1–20: 1 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel
asked the LORD , saying, “Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against
them?” 2 And the LORD said, “Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his
hand.” 3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we
may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot.” So Simeon
went with him. 4 And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men. 5 And they
found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and
the Perizzites. 6 But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut
off his thumbs and his great toes. 7 And Adoni-bezek said, “Threescore and ten kings, having
their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have
done, so God hath requited me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died. 8
Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it
with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire. 9 And afterward the children of Judah
went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south,
and in the valley. 10 And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the
name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before
was Kirjath-sepher: 12 And Caleb said, “He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to
him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.” 13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s
younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 14 And it came to
pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she
lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, “What wilt thou?” 15 And she said unto
him, “Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of
water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs. 16 And the children of
the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of
Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and
dwelt among the people. 17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the
Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. (And the name of the city was
called Hormah.) 18 Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast
thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof. 19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave
out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,
because they had chariots of iron. 20 And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and
he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
11
Ammonites War Against Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim
Judges 10:9: 9 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against
Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore
distressed.

Philistines Come Into Judah in Search of Samson
Judges 15:9–16: 9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread
themselves in Lehi. 10 And the men of Judah said, “Why are ye come up against us?” And
they answered, “To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.” 11
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson,
“Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us?” what is this that thou hast done
unto us? And he said unto them, “As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.” 12 And
they said unto him, “We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the
hand of the Philistines.” And Samson said unto them, “Swear unto me, that ye will not fall
upon me yourselves.” 13 And they spake unto him, saying, “No; but we will bind thee fast,
and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee.” And they bound him with
two new cords, and brought him up from the rock. 14 And when he came unto Lehi, the
Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the
cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed
from off his hands. 15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and
took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. 16 And Samson said, “With the jawbone of an
ass, Heaps upon heaps, With the jaw of an ass Have I slain a thousand men.” 17 And it came
to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his
hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.
Danites Camp in Judah
Judges 18:11–12: 11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah
and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war. 12 And they went up,
and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto
this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
12
Judah the First to Go Up Against Benjamin
Judges 20:18: 18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and
asked counsel of God, and said, “Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the
children of Benjamin?” And the LORD said, “Judah shall go up first.”

Judah’s Inheritances
A Special Inheritance for Caleb
Joshua 14:6–15: 6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son
of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, “Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto
Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. 7 Forty years old was I
when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I
brought him word again as it was in mine heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up
with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. 9 And
Moses sware on that day, saying, ‘Surely the Land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be
thine inheritance, and thy children’s for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD
my God. 10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as He said, these forty and five
years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel
wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. 11 As
yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then,
even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in. 12 Now therefore give
me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the
Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be
with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said. 13 And Joshua blessed
him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. 14 Hebron
therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day,
because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel. 15 And the name of Hebron before
was Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest
from war.
Judah’s Inheritance in the Promised Land
Joshua 15:1–63: 1 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their
families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost
part of the south coast. 2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from
the bay that looketh southward: 3 And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim,
and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed
along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: 4 From thence it
passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast
were at the sea: this shall be your south coast. 5 And the east border was the salt sea, even
unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at
the uttermost part of Jordan: 6 And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by
the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking
toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the
20
river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof
were at En-rogel: 8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the
south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the
mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley
of the giants northward: 9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the
fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the
border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim: 10 And the border compassed from
Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is
Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: 11
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to
Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out
of the border were at the sea. 12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast
thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah,
according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of
Anak, which city is Hebron. 14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of
Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, “He that
smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.” 17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his
daughter to wife. 18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask
of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, “What wouldest
thou?” 19 Who answered, “Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me
also springs of water.” And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs. 20 This is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. 21 And the
uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward
were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, 22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 23 And
Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 25 And Hazor, Hadattah,
and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, 26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, 27 And
Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-palet, 28 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and
Bizjothjah, 29 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, 30 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, 31 And
Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, 32 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and
Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages: 33 And in the valley,
Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, 34 And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 35
Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 36 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah,
and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages: 37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-
gad, 38 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, 40 And
Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, 41 And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and
Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages: 42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, 43 And
Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, 44 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with
their villages: 45 Ekron, with her towns and her villages: 46 From Ekron even unto the sea,
all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages: 47 Ashdod with her towns and her villages,
21
Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the
border thereof: 48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, 49 And Dannah,
and Kirjath-sannah, which is Debir, 50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 51 And Goshen,
and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages: 52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, 53
And Janum, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, 54 And Humtah, and Kirjath-arba, which is
Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages: 55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah, 56
And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 57 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their
villages: 58 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor, 59 And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six
cities with their villages: 60 Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, and Rabbah; two cities
with their villages: 61 In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah, 62 And Nibshan,
and the city of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages. 63 As for the Jebusites the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites
dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Judah’s Inheritance Early
Joshua 18:1–10: 1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together
at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued
before them. 2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not
yet received their inheritance. 3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, “How long are
ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you? 4 Give
out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and
go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall
come again to me. 5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their
coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north. 6 Ye
shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me,
that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God. 7 But the Levites have no part
among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and
half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east,
which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.” 8 And the men arose, and went away: and
Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land,
and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in
Shiloh.” 9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into
seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh. 10 And Joshua cast
lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD : and there Joshua divided the land unto the children
of Israel according to their divisions.
Simeon Receives Inheritances in Judah
Joshua 19:9: 9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the
children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore
the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
22
Hebron a City of Refuge
Joshua 20:1–9: 1 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel,
saying, ‘Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
3 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and
they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4 And when he that doth flee unto one
of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause
in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give
him a place, that he may dwell among them. 5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him,
then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour
unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand
before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in
those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own
house, unto the city from whence he fled.’” 7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in
mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the
mountain of Judah. 8 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer
in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the
tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. 9 These were the cities
appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them,
that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of
the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
Levite Cities Assigned to Kohathites in the Territory of Simeon and Judah
Joshua 21:4-5; 9-16: 4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the
children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah,
and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. 5 And the
rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out
of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. 9 And they gave out of
the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these
cities which are here mentioned by name, 10 Which the children of Aaron, being of the
families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill
country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it. 12 But the fields of the city, and
the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. 13 Thus
they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge
for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs, 14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa
with her suburbs, 15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, 16 And Ain
with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth-shemesh with her suburbs; nine
cities out of those two tribes.
23
Moses’ Blessing to Judah
Deuteronomy 33:7: 7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, “Hear, LORD , the voice
of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an
help to him from his enemies.”
Sealing of the End Times
Revelation 7:5: 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben
were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Judah’s Inheritance at the End of the Millennium
Ezekiel 48:7–8; 22; 31: 7 And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Judah. 8 And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west
side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth,
and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the
sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. 22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and
from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between
the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince. 31 And the gates of
the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of
Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.

Judahite Stories
“What Profit Is it if We Slay Our Brother . . .?”
Genesis 37:13–36: 13 And Israel said unto Joseph, “Do not thy brethren feed the flock in
Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.” And he said to him, “Here am I.” 14 And
he said to him, “Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the
flocks; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to
Shechem. 15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and
the man asked him, saying, “What seekest thou?” 16 And he said, “I seek my brethren: tell
me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.” 17 And the man said, “They are departed
hence; for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” And Joseph went after his brethren, and
found them in Dothan. 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto
them, they conspired against him to slay him. 19 And they said one to another, “Behold,
this dreamer cometh. 20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some
pit, and we will say, ‘Some evil beast hath devoured him:’ and we shall see what will
become of his dreams.” 21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands;
and said, “Let us not kill him.” 22 And Reuben said unto them, “Shed no blood, but cast him
into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of
their hands, to deliver him to his father again. 23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was
come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours
that was on him; 24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty,
there was no water in it. 25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes
and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels
bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26 And Judah said
unto his brethren, “What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come,
and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our
brother and our flesh.” And his brethren were content. 28 Then there passed by Midianites
merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the
Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. 29 And Reuben
returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. 30
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, “The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?” 31
And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said,
“This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no.” 33 And he knew it, and
said, “It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in
pieces.” 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for
his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he
refused to be comforted; and he said, “For I will go down into the grave unto my son
mourning.” Thus his father wept for him. 36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
25
Pharez and Zarah
Genesis 38:1–30: 1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his
brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw
there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went
in unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er. 4 And she
conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan. 5 And she yet again
conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare
him. 6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. 7 And Er, Judah’s
firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD ; and the LORD slew him. 8 And Judah said unto
Onan, “Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.” 9
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto
his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his
brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD : wherefore he slew him also. 11
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, “Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till
Shelah my son be grown:” for he said, “Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did.”
And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house. 12 And in process of time the daughter of
Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to
Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, saying, “Behold
thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.” 14 And she put her widow’s
garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open
place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not
given unto him to wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she
had covered her face. 16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, “Go to, I pray thee,
let me come in unto thee;” (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said,
“What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?” 17 And he said, “I will send
thee a kid from the flock.” And she said, “Wilt Thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?” 18
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. 19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put
on the garments of her widowhood. 20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not. 21 Then he
asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way
side?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.” 22 And he returned to Judah, and
said, “I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this
place.” 23 And Judah said, “Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this
kid, and thou hast not found her.” 24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it
was told Judah, saying, “Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also,
behold, she is with child by whoredom.” And Judah said, “Bring her forth, and let her be
burnt.” 25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, “By the man,
whose these are, am I with child:” and she said, “Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the
signet, and bracelets, and staff.” 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She hath
26
been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son.” And he knew her
again no more. 27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in
her womb. 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and
the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This came out first.”
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and
she said, “How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee:” therefore his name was
called Pharez. 30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his
hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Judah Convinces Jacob to Let Benjamin Go to Egypt
Genesis 43:3–10: 1 And the famine was sore in the land. 2 And it came to pass, when they
had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them,
“Go again, buy us a little food.” 3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, “The man did
solemnly protest unto us, saying, ‘Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with
you.’ 4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: 5 But if
thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, ‘Ye shall not see my
face, except your brother be with you.’” 6 And Israel said, “Wherefore dealt ye so ill with
me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?” 7 And they said, “The man asked us
straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, ‘Is your father yet alive? have ye another
brother?’ and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know
that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down?’” 8 And Judah said unto Israel his father,
“Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we,
and thou, and also our little ones. 9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require
him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for
ever: 10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.”
The Silver Cup in Benjamin’s Sack
Genesis 44:1–34: 1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s
sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.”
And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. 3 As soon as the morning was
light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. 4 And when they were gone out of the
city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, “Up, follow after the men; and when
thou dost overtake them, say unto them, ‘Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? 5 Is
not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in
so doing.’” 6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words. 7 And they
said unto him, “Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should
do according to this thing: 8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we
brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy
lord’s house silver or gold? 9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die,
27
and we also will be my lord’s bondmen. 10 And he said, “Now also let it be according unto
your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.” 11
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his
sack. 12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup
was found in Benjamin’s sack. 13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass,
and returned to the city. 14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was
yet there: and they fell before him on the ground. 15 And Joseph said unto them, “What
deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?” 16 And
Judah said, “What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear
ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s
servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.” 17 And he said, “God forbid
that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and
as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.” 18 Then Judah came near unto him, and
said, “Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not
thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. 19 My lord asked his
servants, saying, ‘Have ye a father, or a brother?’ 20 And we said unto my lord, ‘We have a
father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he
alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.’ 21 And thou saidst unto thy servants,
‘Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 22 And we said unto my lord,
‘The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’ 23
And thou saidst unto thy servants, ‘Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye
shall see my face no more.’ 24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my
father, we told him the words of my LORD . 25 And our father said, ‘Go again, and buy us a
little food.’ 26 And we said, ‘We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then
will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with
us.’ 27 And thy servant my father said unto us, ‘Ye know that my wife bare me two sons: 28
And the one went out from me, and I said, ‘Surely he is torn in pieces;’ and I saw him not
since: 29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my
gray hairs with sorrow to the grave. 30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father,
and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; 31 It shall come
to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall
bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.’ 32 For thy
servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, ‘If I bring him not unto thee, then
I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.’ 33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant
abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. 34
For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the
evil that shall come on my father.”
Judah Goes Before the Rest to Joseph
Genesis 46:27–28: 27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls:
all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. 28 And
28
he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into
the land of Goshen.
Exodus 17:10–15: 10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and
Moses, Aaron, and Hur* went up to the top of the hill. 11 And it came to pass, when Moses
held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat
thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on
the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 And Joshua
discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 And the LORD said unto
Moses, “Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will
utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an
altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi: 16 For he said, “Because the LORD hath sworn
that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
*Moses, Aaron, and Hur (who was of Judah) represent the prophet, priest, and king
Bezaleel Chosen to Help Build Tabernacle
Exodus 31:1–11: 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 “See, I have called by name
Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with
the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship, 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And
in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of
workmanship. 6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the
tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may
make all that I have commanded thee; 7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of
the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the
tabernacle, 8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture,
and the altar of incense, 9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the
laver and his foot, 10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest,
and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office, 11 And the anointing oil, and
sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they
do.”
Exodus 38:22–23: 22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach,
of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in
purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

Nahshon’s Offering for Judah at the Setting Up of the Tabernacle
Numbers 7:10–17: 10 And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it
was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar. 11 And the LORD said
unto Moses, “They shall offer their offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the
altar.” 12 And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab,
of the tribe of Judah: 13 And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an
hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the
sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: 14 One
spoon of ten shekels of gold, full of incense: 15 One young bullock, one ram, one lamb of
the first year, for a burnt offering: 16 One kid of the goats for a sin offering: 17 And for a
sacrifice of peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five lambs of the first year:
this was the offering of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
Judah to Bless the People
Deuteronomy 27:11–26: 11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12 “These
shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 13 And these shall stand upon
mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 And the
Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 15 ‘Cursed be the
man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD , the work of
the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place.’ And all the people shall
answer and say, ‘Amen.’ 16 ‘Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.’
And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 17 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s
landmark. And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 18 ‘Cursed be he that maketh the blind to
wander out of the way.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 19 ‘Cursed be he that
perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amen.’ 20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his
father’s skirt.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 21 ‘Cursed be he that lieth with any
manner of beast.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 22 ‘Cursed be he that lieth with his
sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amen.’ 23 ‘Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amen.’ 24 ‘Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly.’ And all the people shall
say, ‘Amen.’ 25 ‘Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.’ And all the
people shall say, ‘Amen.’ 26 ‘Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to
do them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Achan Partakes of the Accursed Thing
Joshua 7:1–21: 1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for
Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of
30
the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. 2
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-
el, and spake unto them, saying, “Go up and view the country.” And the men went up and
viewed Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, “Let not all the people go up;
but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to
labour thither; for they are but few.” 4 So there went up thither of the people about three
thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of them
about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim,
and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became
as water. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of
the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 7
And Joshua said, “Alas, O LORD GOD , wherefore hast Thou at all brought this people over
Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had
been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! 8 O LORD , what shall I say, when Israel
turneth their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the
land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and
what wilt Thou do unto Thy great name?” 10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, “Get thee up;
wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also
transgressed My covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the
accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among
their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies,
but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be
with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Up, sanctify the
people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of
Israel, ‘There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before
thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 14 In the morning
therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which
the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD
shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come
man by man. 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt
with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD ,
and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.’” 16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning,
and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 17 And he brought the
family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the
Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: 18 And he brought his household man by man;
and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was
taken. 19 And Joshua said unto Achan, “My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of
Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not
from me.” 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, “Indeed I have sinned against the LORD
God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly
Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels
weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the
31
midst of my tent, and the silver under it.” 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto
the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. 23 And they took them
out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of
Israel, and laid them out before the LORD . 24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took
Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his
sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that
he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why hast
thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day.” And all Israel stoned him with
stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 26 And they
raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness
of His anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this
day.
Ruth, Lamentations, Ezra, and Nehemiah
Judah is central to all of these books.
David Asks That the Children of Judah Learn the Song of the Bow
II Samuel 1:17–18: 17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan
his son: 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of* the bow: behold, it is
written in the book of Jasher.)
*This should read the “Song of the bow.” The bow was the subject of David’s lamentation, and the tribe of
Benjamin (from which Saul and Jonathan came) was noted for its skill with the bow.

Judah’s Genealogies
Judah Listed as One of Jacob’s Twelve Sons
Genesis 35:22–26: 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went
and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were
twelve: 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah,
and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of
Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid;
Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram.
Judahites Who Entered Egypt
Genesis 46:12: 12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah:
but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
Exodus 1:1–5: 1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt;
every man and his household came with Jacob. 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3
Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5 And all the souls
that came out of the loins ofJacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
Generations of Pharez
Ruth 4:9–22: 9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, “Ye are witnesses
this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and
Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi. 10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I
purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the
name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye
are witnesses this day.” 11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said,
“We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and
like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be
famous in Bethlehem: 12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare
unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.” 13 So Boaz
took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her
conception, and she bare a son. 14 And the women said unto Naomi, “Blessed be the LORD ,
Which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy
daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. 17 And
the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, “There is a son born to Naomi; and they
called his name Obed:” he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. 18 Now these are the
33
generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, 19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat
Amminadab, 20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, 21 And Salmon
begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.

Ashbea, 22 And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the
dominion in Moab, and Jashub-ilehem. And these are ancient things. 23 These were the
potters, and those that dwelt among plants and hedges: there they dwelt with the king for
his work.

the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast,
and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it
may not grieve me!” And God granted him that which he requested.
*Jabez was where the Kenites dwelt (I Chronicles 2:55)

Joseph’s Genealogy
Matthew 1:1–17: 1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of
Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his
brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom
begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat
Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat
Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had
been the wife of Urias; 7 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
begat Asa; 8 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9
And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 And
Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 And Josias
begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: 12
And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat
Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; 15 And Eliud
begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; 16 And Jacob begat
Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, Who is called Christ. 17 So all the
generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the
carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into
Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Judah in the New Testament
Matthew 2:6: 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the
princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, That shall rule My people Israel.
[Quoted from Micah 5:2]
Luke 1:39: 39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a
city of Juda; 40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Hebrews 7:11–16: 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it
the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise
after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the
priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For He of
Whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave
attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Juda; of which tribe
Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after
the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another Priest, 16 Who is made, not after the
law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Revelation 5:5: 5 And one of the elders saith unto me, “Weep not: behold, the Lion of the
tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven
seals thereof.”
