In the sedra’s sub-plot, Yehuda's sons Er & Onan die as punishment for preventing their wife Tamar from becoming pregnant. When Yehuda's wife dies, Tamar resolves to have children with Yehuda. She poses as a prostitute, is impregnated by Yehuda, & Zerach & Peretz (ancestor of David) are born.
Yosef rises to power in Potifar's house. Potifar's wife seduces him. When rejected, she accuses him of rape & he is jailed. Yosef interprets the dream of Paro's wine steward, who is reinstated, and the dream of Paro's baker, who is hanged. Despite promising, the wine steward forgets Yosef, who stays in jail.
