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.
