Genesis 38:7-11
7And ErH6147, Judah’sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slewH4191 him. 8And JudahH3063 saidH559 to OnanH209, Go inH935 to 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 to his brother’sH251 wifeH802, that he wastedH7843 it on the groundH776, lestH1115 he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251. 10And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 displeasedH3415H5869 the LORDH3068: therefore 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 shall be grownH1431: for he saidH559, Lest perhaps he dieH4191 also, as his brethrenH251 did . And TamarH8559 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in her father’sH1 houseH1004.
