1These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah, Issachar and Zebulun;
2Dan, Joseph and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
3The sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah; these three were his sons by Bathshua, the Canaanite woman. And Er, Judah's oldest son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and he put him to death.
4And Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had Perez and Zerah by him. All the sons of Judah were five.
