Genesis 38:1-12

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at that time, that JudahH3063 wentH3381 downH3381 from his brethrenH251, and turnedH5186 in to a certainH376 AdullamiteH5726, whoseH376 nameH8034 was HirahH2437.

2And JudahH3063 sawH7200 there a daughterH1323 of a certainH376 CanaaniteH3669 whoseH376 nameH8034 was ShuaH7770; and he tookH3947 herH413, and wentH935 in unto herH413.

3And sheH7121 conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121; and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 ErH6147.

4And sheH7121 conceivedH2029 againH5750, and bare a sonH1121; and sheH7121 calledH7121 his nameH8034 OnanH209.

5And sheH7121 yet againH5750 bare a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 ShelahH7956: and he was at ChezibH3580, when sheH7121 bare him.

6And JudahH3063 tookH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, and herH3947 nameH8034 was TamarH8559.

7And ErH6147, Judah’sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slew him.

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto OnanH209, GoH935 in unto thy brother’sH251 wifeH802, and performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2992 brotherH251 unto herH413, and raiseH6965 upH6965 seedH2233 to thy brotherH251.

9And OnanH209 knewH3045 that the seedH2233 should notH3808 be his; and it cameH935 to passH935, when he wentH935 in unto his brother’sH251 wifeH802, that he spilled it on the groundH776, lest he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251.

10And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 was evilH7489 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and he slew him also.

11Then saidH559 JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughterH1004 in law, RemainH3427 a widowH490 in thy father’sH1 houseH1004, tillH5704 ShelahH7956 my sonH1121 be grownH1431 upH5704: for he saidH559, LestH6435 he also dieH4191, like his brethrenH251. And TamarH8559 wentH1004 and dweltH3427 in herH559 father’sH1 houseH1004.

12And in process of time Shua’s daughterH1323, the wifeH802 of JudahH3063, diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and wentH5927 upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH1494 to TimnahH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726.
