(pee'rehz) Personal name meaning, “breach.” One of the twins born to the illicit affair between Judah and his daughter-in-law, Tamar (Genesis 38:1 ). After she was widowed and her brother-in-law, Onan, refused to fulfill his duties in levirate marriage (designed to carry on the name of the deceased through a son), she tricked her father-in-law, Judah, into an affair (Genesis 38:13-30 ).
