Genesis 38:1-12

1And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that JudahH3063 went downH3381 from his brethrenH251, and turnedH5186 in to a certainH376 AdullamiteH5726, whose nameH8034 was HirahH2437. 2And JudahH3063 sawH7200 there a daughterH1323 of a certainH376 CanaaniteH3669, whose nameH8034 was ShuahH7770; and he took herH3947, and went inH935 unto her. 3And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 ErH6147. 4And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 OnanH209. 5And she yet again conceivedH3254, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and calledH7121 his nameH8034 ShelahH7956: and he was at ChezibH3580, when she bareH3205 him. 6And JudahH3063 tookH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559. 7And ErH6147, Judah’sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068; And YhwhH3068 slewH4191 him. 8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto OnanH209, Go inH935 unto thy brother’sH251 wifeH802, and marryH2992 her, and raise upH6965 seedH2233 to thy brotherH251. 9And OnanH209 knewH3045 that the seedH2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, whenH518 he went inH935 unto his brother’sH251 wifeH802, that he spilledH7843 it on the groundH776, lestH1115 that he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251. 10And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 displeasedH5869H3415 YhwhH3068: wherefore he slewH4191 him also.1 11Then saidH559 JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughter in lawH3618, RemainH3427 a widowH490 at thy father’sH1 houseH1004, till ShelahH7956 my sonH1121 be grownH1431: for he saidH559, Lest peradventure he dieH4191 also, as his brethrenH251 did. And TamarH8559 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in her father’sH1 houseH1004.

12And in processH7235 of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah’sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and went upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH6629H1494 to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726.2
