1. And at that time it came to be that Yehuḏah left his brothers, and turned aside to a man, an Aḏullamite whose name was Ḥirah.
2. And Yehuḏah saw there a daughter of a certain Kena‛anite whose name was Shuwa. And he took her and went in to her.
3. So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Ěr.
4. And she conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
5. And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shĕlah. And he was at Keziḇ when she bore him.
6. And Yehuḏah took a wife for Ěr his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
7. But Ěr, Yehuḏah’s first-born, was evil in the eyes of יהוה, and יהוה took his life.
8. And Yehuḏah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”
