Genesis 38:1 meaning and explanation
About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
Genesis 38:1, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Genesis 38 opens by noting that Judah, one of Jacob's twelve sons, separated from his brothers and settled near Hirah, an Adullamite. The phrase "about that time" links this move to the sale of Joseph in the previous chapter, so the narrator is showing Judah striking out on his own while his family's story continues elsewhere.
