The security asked of Judah by Tamar in Genesis 38:18 was extraordinary. Why did he agree to this?
Remember, when something in the story seems out of place, look deeper. Ring, cord/bracelet, staff are symbols of authority. 3 times, Tamar asked to hold Judah's authority in her hands. Failure to control your impulses will give your impulses control over you. Just like Delilah, Bathsheba, and Jezebel. In each of these cases, the greatest fault was with a weak man.
