2 There Judah met a young Canaanite woman whose father was named Shua. He married her,
3 and she bore him a son, whom he named Er.
4 She became pregnant again and bore another son and named him Onan.
5 Again she had a son and named him Shelah. Judah was at Achzib when the boy was born.
6 For his first son Er, Judah got a wife whose name was Tamar.
7 Er's conduct was evil, and it displeased the Lord, so the Lord killed him.
8 Then Judah said to Er's brother Onan, “Go and sleep with your brother's widow. Fulfil your obligation to her as her husband's brother, so that your brother may have descendants.”
