My favorite in the Bible is not mentioned. Tamar, the Harlot by the side of the road. Her husband died and Jewish law required his brother to knock her up so she got her share of the inheritance. In fact, the lion's share, as her husband had been the eldest son. Onan preferred to masturbate, so God killed him. The other brothers also refused to impregnate Tamar. So, Tamar dressed up as a harlot and sold herself to her father in law, Judah, after he was drunk and tired from a business trip. He didnt recognize her and duly knocked her up. She kept the fee. <G> Both Tamar and Rahab are in the genealogies of King David and Jesus.
