# Bathshua

Source: https://enocharchive.com/characters/bathshua (Enoch Archive).

Bathshua was a Canaanite woman and the daughter of Barsan, king of Adullam. When Judah went to him, Barsan made a feast and gave Bathshua to Judah as his wife.

Bathshua refused to allow Judah to give Shelah to Tamar, bearing spite against Tamar because she was not of the daughters of Canaan as Bathshua herself was. Judah fell before Bathshua the Canaanite and was led astray to her for the sake of money and beauty. He also revealed the commandments of God and the mysteries of Jacob to the Canaanitish Bathshua, though God had forbidden him to declare them to her.
