Genesis 38:1-6

1At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah.

2There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and made love to her;

3she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.

4She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.

5She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.

6Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
