According to Moses, the writer of Genesis, a lady named Judah's wife had another baby boy and named him Shelah, and this happened in a place called Chezib. This story shows that families in the Bible had many children, and each child was special with their own name and story.

Genesis 38:5: And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

Contradiction with Genesis 38:24

This verse contradicts Genesis 38:5 by showing Judah's quick judgment against Tamar, despite his previous actions that led to this situation.

Genesis 38:24: And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.

Contradiction with Genesis 38:26

This verse contradicts Genesis 38:5 by illustrating Judah's realization of his own faults in the events involving his family, contrasting with the lack of introspection or consequence in Genesis 38:5.

Contradiction with Romans 2:1

This verse contradicts Genesis 38:5 by highlighting the danger of judging others while being guilty of similar actions oneself, which contrasts with the lack of self-reflection seen earlier in Judah's story.

Romans 2:1: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Contradiction with Matthew 7:1-3

These verses contradict Genesis 38:5 by emphasizing the importance of self-examination before judging others, aligning with the broader narrative of moral accountability absent in Genesis 38:5.

Matthew 7:1-3: Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Contradiction with James 4:11-12

These verses contradict Genesis 38:5 by instructing against speaking evil of others and judging them, a caution not evident in Judah's initial stance in Genesis 38:5 regarding his familial responsibilities.

James 4:11-12: Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Contradiction with John 8:7

This verse contradicts Genesis 38:5 with its message of not casting stones unless free from sin oneself, a principle ignored in the judgment and actions surrounding Genesis 38:5.

John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
