Genesis 38 tells the story of Judah and his family, specifically focusing on his son Er and his daughter-in-law Tamar. Er and his brother Onan are put to death for their wickedness. Tamar, believing she has been wronged, disguises herself and seduces Judah, becoming pregnant with twin sons. The story illustrates the consequences of sin through the actions of the characters.
In Genesis 39, Joseph is sold into slavery in Egypt, becomes successful and respected member of Potiphar's household, falsely accused and thrown into prison. In Genesis 40, Joseph uses his ability to interpret dreams to gain favor and rise to power in Egypt, eventually becoming a powerful and respected leader. This further illustrates the theme of God's providence and plan for Joseph despite difficult circumstances.
