Perez (son of Judah)

Perez, also written as Pharez/Peretz (Hebrew: פֶּרֶץ / פָּרֶץ, Modern  Pereṣ / Pareṣ Tiberian Péreṣ / Pāreṣ), was the son of Tamar and Judah, and the twin of Zerah, according to the Book of Genesis.

[1][2] The twins were conceived after Tamar tricked her father-in-law Judah into having sexual intercourse with her by disguising herself as a prostitute.

The name is transliterated to English as both "Perez" (NIV, ESV, NKJV) and "Pharez" (KJV).

Perez, in Hebrew means "breach or burst forth" and is named after the narrative of his birth as recorded in Genesis 38:29.

The Book of Ruth lists Perez as being part of the ancestral genealogy of King David,[5] and both the Gospel according to Matthew through Joseph and the Gospel according to Luke through Mary include him when specifying the genealogy of Jesus.
