According to the Book of Genesis, Pharez / Perez () was the son of Tamar and of Judah, and was the twin of Zerah.

During his early 20s, Holley was a close friend of Zerah Colburn, the well-known locomotive engineer and journalist / publisher.

The Bible does not state whether Zerah was a pharaoh or a general of the army.

Zerah the Cushite, is an individual mentioned by the Book of Chronicles as having invaded the Kingdom of Judah with an enormous army, in the days of Asa.

The invasion, and its implied time-frame, means that the traditional view was to consider this Zerah to have actually been Osorkon II or Osorkon I, both being rulers of Egypt.

In addition, Asa's reign is traditionally dated to have ended in 873BC, making it impossible for the biblical text to be accurate if Osorkon II was Zerah, since Osorkon II's reign hadn't even begun until one year later-872BC.

In the Book of Kings, which doesn't mention Asa's defeat of Zerah, Asa is described as being extremely weak from a defensive point of view, and Biblical scholars regard the idea that Asa could defeat an enormous Egyptian army to be untenable.

According to the Book of Genesis, Zerah was the son of Tamar and of Judah, and was the twin of Pharez.

The text says that he was called Zerah because when he had stuck his hand out before being born, the midwife tied a bright scarlet thread around his wrist ; although all other biblical uses of the word zerah translate as rise, here the name is implied to derive from the colour of the bright thread-scarlet-which is similar to the initial colour of sunrise.

The bible also identifies Zerah as the name of the founder of one of the Simeonite clans.

Zerah was a Gershonite Levite ( 1 Chr.

In March 1854 Zerah and George French and nine members of their family moved to a shanty close to Mitchell Creek and the Muskegon River.

According to Israeli historian Tom Segev, Maariv asked for the opinion of the minister of religious affairs, Dr. Zerah Warhaftig, who did not refute the rabbinical ruling, but quoted from traditional Jewish sources according to which Jewish doctors had saved the lives of non-Jews on the Sabbath, although they were not required to do so.

In 1977, Holm appeared in the TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth as the Sadducee Zerah, and a villainous Moroccan in March or Die.

Tamar's sons by her father-in-law were the twins Pharez and Zerah, the fourth and fifth sons of Judah and the ancestors of David.

In the Book of Genesis, Tamar (;, ) was the daughter-in-law of Judah ( twice ), as well as the mother of two of his children: the twins Perez and Zerah.

Upon recognizing his security deposit, Judah released Tamar from her sentence and accordingly she was able to give birth to twins, Perez and Zerah.

Zerah Colburn was one of many engineers who had a close association with the Baldwin Locomotive Works.

Between 1854 and the start of his weekly paper, the Railroad Advocate and 1861, when Colburn went to work more or less permanently in London, England, the journalist was in frequent touch with M. W. Baldwin, as recorded in Zerah Colburn: The Spirit of Darkness.

Extra-biblical traditions were used in the writing of the screenplay and some characters ( such as Zerah ) and situations were invented for the film for brevity or dramatic purposes.

Notably, Jesus of Nazareth depicts Judas Iscariot as a well-intentioned man initially, but later as a dupe of Zerah who betrays Jesus largely as a result of Zerah's false platitudes and pretexts.

The film ’ s storyline concludes with the non-Biblical character Zerah and his colleagues gazing despairingly into the empty tomb.
