Judah had as his symbol the Lion. And Tamar means date Palm. She was the wife of his son Er. Er was killed by God for being evil. The meaning of Er is given as awake. But I wonder if it is related to Ur or Auroch (the root given in Strongs is listed as Ur). He was supposed to be replaced by Onan who spilled his seed on the ground and was also killed. Onan means strength which is what the bull symbolized. The root of which is On which means strength and check out this usage of On, (strength)<br /><br />[Job 40:15-16 KJV] 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.<br /><br />I'd be interested in your thoughts on the rest of Gen 38, as it speaks of shearing sheep, 3 months later, a veiled harlot, all calendrical symbols. <br /><br />Heliopolis was known as Iunu or On in the bible. Joseph married the daughter of the high priest of On, and Joseph's symbol was the bull through his son Ephraim and possibly Manasseh. On was the city of pillars which was the pylon, which symbolized the western mountains in which the sun sets, like the bulls horns that are the solar headdress of Hathor, meaning the House of Horus (the sun). His only full brother Benjamin which means son of my right hand (strength), was going to be named Ben - Oni by his mother, IMO Oni is relating to On, Heliopolis.
