Generation 8 from Adam · Ancestor of Jesus Christ
Biography
The fourth son of Jacob and Leah, Judah became the leader among his brothers. He proposed selling Joseph into slavery rather than killing him. After failures with his own sons and daughter-in-law Tamar, Judah demonstrated repentance and growth in character, offering himself as a slave in Benjamin's place. From Judah's line came King David and ultimately Jesus Christ.
Judah's line was chosen for the Messiah. His transformation from selling Joseph to offering himself for Benjamin shows redemption and change. The 'Lion of Judah' is Christ.
