- Yehudah has the power of Nizachon (conquering) that
is why in Shoftim the tribe of Yehuda led the war to conquer the land.
- However their power only stands against the nations but not against
Amelak.
- Amalek descends from Timnah who married Eliphaz as a concubine. Timnah
was a princess. After being rejected as a convert in the house of Avrahom
decided it was better to be a concubine to his decedents rather then be
a princess else where.
- Rochel was a step higher since she became a concubine even though she
has a chance to be a wife. Meaning, a second wife is considered a concubine
yet she gave over the sign to Leah.
- Therefore the descendants of Timnah can only fall to the decedents of
Rachel. That’s why Yehoshua, Shual, Mordichiay and Moshiach ben
Yosef all descend from her.
