1 About that time Judah went down, away from his brothers, and pitched his tent near a certain Adullamite named Hirah.
2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite named Shua; he married her, and had intercourse with her.
3 She conceived and bore a son, whom she named Er.
4 Again she conceived and bore a son, whom she named Onan.
5 Then she bore still another son, whom she named Shelah. She was in Chezib when she bore him.
6 Judah got a wife named Tamar for his firstborn, Er.
7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, greatly offended the Lord; so the Lord took his life.
