1 At that time Judah left his brothers and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shua, and he took her and had relations with her.
3 She conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
5 She again conceived and bore a son and called his name Shelah. He was at Kezib when she bore him.
6 Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord killed him.
