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 to her.
3. And she conceived, and bore a son; and he called his name Er.
4. And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she called his name Onan.
5. And she yet again conceived, and bore a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
6. And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Tamar.
7. And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
8. And Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
