Genesis 38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her and went in to her.


      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.
