Cultural and Historical Background: Thamar, or Tamar, is a significant figure in the Old Testament. She was the daughter-in-law of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. Her account is found in Genesis 38, where she is widowed twice and eventually disguises herself to secure her rights and lineage through Judah.
