Perez (Pharez)

Perez was born out of incest and prostitution to Judah and Tamar. The name means “breach or pushing through”due to the way he bypassed his twin brother at childbirth. His descendants are the Perezites. Generations later, the elders bless Boaz that his house may be like the house of Perez. The Perezites are the main ancestors of the Ephrathites and Bethlemites. I was not able to find much information in the bible about Perez, but it seems like he overcame despite entering the world through deceit and sin.
