5And she yet again bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
6And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, and her name was Tamar.
7And Er, Judah`s first-born, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah slew him.
8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother`s wife, and perform the duty of a husband`s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
9And Onan knew that the seed would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother`s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and he slew him also.
11Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father`s house, till Shelah my son be grown up; for he said, Lest he also die, like his brethren. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father`s house.
