Lesson 20 is a review lesson. I have been reading the slides, off and on all day. I will have to sit down and parse each slide.  I am hoping that it is not quite as hard as it looks like it might be. I have got to say that I am not real comfortable reading this material in a mixed class. I guess you could say that I am a bit conservative. This chapter starts with Genesis 38:11 and goes through verse 18.

In Genesis 38:11 it starts with a Wayyiqtol narrative "And he said", Judah, (le Tamar), to Tamar: his daughter in law. (his being the holom vav suffixed to the word calla, which is bride or daughter in law. (Shevi) is an imperative of the word shivah translated DWELL. The next word is widow. I have such a hard time remembering I am suppose to supply a "to be" word here. So it should say, "Dwell as a widow.
Oh well, I will work some more on it later today.
