Genesis 38:1-7 ▼

1 At that time Judah left his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite man named Hirah.

2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. Judah acquired her as a wife and had marital relations with her.

3 She became pregnant and had a son. Judah named him Er.

4 She became pregnant again and had another son, whom she named Onan.

5 Then she had yet another son, whom she named Shelah. She gave birth to him in Kezib.

6 Judah acquired a wife for Er his firstborn; her name was Tamar.

7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the LORD's sight, so the LORD killed him.
