2 Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her, and went in to her.
3 She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.
4 She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.
5 She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bore him.
6 Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 Er, Judah`s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him.
8 Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother`s wife, and perform the duty of a husband`s brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother."
