1 About that time, Judah (praised) left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah (a noble family), an Adullamite. 2 There Judah (praised) saw the daughter of a Canaanite (merchants) man named Shua (wealth), and he took her as a wife and slept with her. 3 So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er (awake). 4 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan (strong). 5 Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah (a petition); it was at Chezib (false) that she gave birth to him. 6 Now Judah (praised) acquired a wife for Er (awake), his firstborn, and her name was Tamar (palm-tree). 7 But Er (awake), Judah’s (praised) firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD {YHWH}; so the LORD put him to death.
