Perez
Perez was the son of Tamar and Judah, and the twin of Zerah. He was conceived after Tamar tricked her father-in-law Judah into having sex with her by disguising herself as a prostitute. Perez's name means "breach or burst forth," and it is said that he was born with a caul, a piece of membrane that covers the head of a newborn baby. This caul was considered to be a sign of good luck, and Perez went on to become a successful man.
