Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness
Perez
Judah’s son by Tamar, one of twins. As the twins were born, one put out a hand and the midwife tied a scarlet thread on it, but he drew back, and his brother came out first. The midwife said, “Why have you made a breach for yourself?” so he was called Perez, “breach” (Genesis 38:27–30). Through Perez the line runs to Boaz, David, and Jesus (Ruth 4:18–22; Matthew 1:3; Luke 3:33).
