1 And it shall be in that time, and Judah will go down from his brethren, and will turn to a man, an Adullamite, and his name Hirah. 2 And Judah will see there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, and his name Shuah, and he will take her and will go in to her. 3 And she will conceive and bring forth a son, and he will call his name Er. 4 And she will conceive yet again and bear a son, and will call his name Onan. 5 And she will add yet and bear a son, and will call his name Shelah: and he was in Chezib, in her bearing him. 6 And Judah will take a wife for Er his first-born, and her name Tamar. 7 And Er, Judah's first-born, will be evil in the eyes of Jehovah: and Jehovah will kill him. 8 And Judah will say to Onan, go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9 And Onan will know that not to him will be the seed; and it was when he went in to his brother's wife, he destroyed upon the earth, not to give seed to his brother. 10 And it will be evil in the eyes of Jehovah, what he did, and he will kill him also.
