Ge 38:1-30.
JUDAH AND FAMILY.
1. at that time--a formula frequently used by the sacred writers, not to describe any precise period, but an interval near about it.

2. 犹大在那里看见一个迦南人的女儿——像以扫
[Ge 26:34]
一样，雅各的这个儿子抛弃了信仰的约束，娶了迦南家族的女子为妻；因此，从这样不相称的结合所生的家族，以大胆无耻的恶行而臭名昭著，并不令人惊奇。
Original en inglés
2. And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite--Like Esau
[Ge 26:34],
this son of Jacob, casting off the restraints of religion, married into a Canaanite family; and it is not surprising that the family which sprang from such an unsuitable connection should be infamous for bold and unblushing wickedness.

8. 犹大对俄南说……娶她为妻，为你哥哥生子立后——这是一个习俗的第一个例子，这习俗后来被纳入摩西律法：丈夫死而遗下寡妇时，其最年长之弟当娶她为妻，所生之子要作死者的后嗣（参
De 25:5)。
Original en inglés
8. Judah said unto Onan . . . marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother--The first instance of a custom, which was afterwards incorporated among the laws of Moses, that when a husband died leaving a widow, his brother next of age was to marry her, and the issue, if any, was to be served heir to the deceased (compare
De 25:5).

12. 犹大……上到他剪羊毛的人那里——这季节在巴勒斯坦约在三月末，是在异常欢乐中度过；最富有的主人请朋友，也款待仆人，赴丰盛的筵席。因此经上说犹大由他的朋友希拉陪同。
亭纳——在犹大山地。
Original en inglés
12. Judah . . . went up unto his sheep-shearers--This season, which occurs in Palestine towards the end of March, was spent in more than usual hilarity, and the wealthiest masters invited their friends, as well as treated their servants, to sumptuous entertainments. Accordingly, it is said, Judah was accompanied by his friend Hirah.
Timnath--in the mountains of Judah.

18. 印，等——希伯来人中男女都戴手镯，包括臂环。但希伯来文这里所译为“手镯”的词，在别处都译作“带子”或“丝带”；所以，因印本身大概已超过山羊的代价，便不易推想为何还要加上其他东西，除非假设有孔的印是借丝带系在杖上。
Original en inglés
18. signet, &c.--Bracelets, including armlets, were worn by men as well as women among the Hebrews. But the Hebrew word here rendered "bracelets," is everywhere else translated "lace" or "ribbon"; so that as the signet alone was probably more than an equivalent for the kid, it is not easy to conjecture why the other things were given in addition, except by supposing the perforated seal was attached by a ribbon to the staff.

24. 把她拉出来，把她烧了——在列祖时代，父亲似乎对家人拥有生杀之权。古时许多地方都以火烧惩罚奸淫
(利 21:9； 士 15:6； 耶 29:22)。
本章所含的细节，若非为展示将救主家谱与亚伯拉罕相连的完整链条，大概永不至于进入受默示的记载；而在这段所出现的众先祖之不名誉品格中，我们有一个显著的证明："祂反倒虚己"
[腓 2:7]。
Original en inglés
24. Bring her forth, and let her be burnt--In patriarchal times fathers seem to have possessed the power of life and death over the members of their families. The crime of adultery was anciently punished in many places by burning
(Le 21:9; Jud 15:6; Jer 29:22).
This chapter contains details, which probably would never have obtained a place in the inspired record, had it not been to exhibit the full links of the chain that connects the genealogy of the Saviour with Abraham; and in the disreputable character of the ancestry who figure in this passage, we have a remarkable proof that "He made himself of no reputation"
[Php 2:7].
Ge 38:1-30.
犹大和他的家。
1. 那时——这是圣史们常用的一种说法，并非描述任何确定的时期，而是其附近的一段时间。
