Genesis 38:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.

2. And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.

3. And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.

4. And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.

5. Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.

6. Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
