The mention of a Canaanite woman is significant, as the Canaanites were often seen as a people with different religious practices and moral values, which were contrary to those of the Israelites. This union foreshadows potential conflicts and challenges, as intermarriage with Canaanites was generally discouraged (Deuteronomy 7:3-4). The name "Shua" is not common, and little is known about him, but his mention indicates the importance of lineage and family connections in biblical narratives. and he took her as a wife and slept with her Persons / Places / Events 1. JudahThe fourth son of Jacob and Leah, Judah is a significant figure in the lineage of Jesus Christ. His actions and decisions have long-lasting implications for the tribes of Israel. 2. Daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua This unnamed woman becomes Judah's wife. Her Canaanite heritage is significant, as it reflects the intermingling of the Israelites with the surrounding nations, which was often discouraged. 3. Canaan The land where this event takes place, Canaan was inhabited by various tribes and was known for its idolatrous practices. The Israelites were often warned against adopting Canaanite customs. Teaching Points The Importance of ObedienceJudah's decision to marry a Canaanite woman reflects a departure from the covenantal practices of his forefathers. This serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God's commands regarding relationships. Consequences of Compromise Judah's marriage to a Canaanite woman leads to a series of complex family dynamics and moral challenges. Compromising on God's standards can lead to unforeseen consequences. God's Sovereignty in Imperfection Despite Judah's actions, God uses his lineage to bring about the Messiah. This teaches us that God can redeem our mistakes and use them for His greater plan. Cultural Influence and Faithfulness The account highlights the tension between cultural influences and faithfulness to God. Believers are called to be in the world but not of it, maintaining their distinct identity in Christ.(2) Canaanite.--This is rendered in the Targum merchant, and so the Authorised Version translates Canaanite in Proverbs 31:24. In favour of this view is the fact, that the marriage of Simeon with a Canaanitish woman is regarded as an act so exceptional, as to be worth recording (Genesis 46:10). But we may well doubt whether, at so early an age, the terms Canaanite and merchant had become synonymous. "Shuah" was the name of the woman's father, as appears plainly in the Hebrew. (See also Genesis 38:12.)Verse 2. - And Judah saw there the daughter of a certain (literally, of a man, a) Canaanite, - not of a merchant (Onkelos), but of an inhabitant of the land of Canaan - whose name was Shuah; - "Wealth," "Riches," "Cry for Help" (Gesenius). This was not the name of Judah's wife (LXX.), but of her father - (vide ver. 12) - and he took her, - i.e. married her (viz. Genesis 6:2; Genesis 24:67) - and went in unto her.
