Genesis 38:1-7 ▼

1 About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.

2 And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.

3 And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.

4 And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.

5 Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.

6 Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.

7 And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.
