"And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,.... Onkelos and Jonathan, and so Jarchi and Ben Gersom, interpret it a "merchant", to take off the disgrace of his
falling in love with, and marrying a Canaanitish woman, which was forbidden by his ancestors Abraham and Isaac, and which his father avoided: whose name was Shuah; not the name of the woman he married, but the name of her father, as appears from Gen 38:12 ; and who very probably was a man of note in the country: and he took her; to be his wife, with her and her father's consent, not by force: and went in unto her; cohabited with her as his wife.
