1 And it came to pass at that time that Judah went down from his brethren and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah, and he took her and went in unto her.
3 And she conceived and gave birth to a son, and he called his name Er.
4 And she conceived again and gave birth to a son, and she called his name Onan.
5 And she yet again conceived and gave birth to a son and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezib, when she gave birth to him.
6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
7 And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and the Lord slew him.
