4914. 'And he did not know her ever again' means that there was no further joining together. This is clear from the meaning of 'knowing' as being joined to and from the meaning of 'not ever again' as no further. The meaning is therefore that there was no further joining to the internal aspect of the Church - for 'Tamar' represents that internal aspect For this reason also Judah did not have any more sons.
