Tamar bore the twin sons of Judah. While she was in labor, one twin put out his hand. The midwife tied a scarlet thread around his wrist, thinking he would be the firstborn. He drew back his hand, and and out came his brother! “What!” the midwife exclaimed. “How did you break out first?” So he was named Perez, which means breaking forth. Perez was an ancestor of Christ.
