3She became pregnant and had a son. Judah named him Er.

4She became pregnant again and had another son, whom she named Onan.

5Then she had yet another son, whom she named Shelah. She gave birth to him in Kezib.

6Judah acquired a wife for Er his firstborn; her name was Tamar.

7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord killed him.
