Judah and Tamar
381About that time Judah went down from his brothers and visited a man from Adullam named Hirah. 2There Judah saw a daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He took her as a wife and went to her. 3She conceived and gave birth to a son, and he named him Er. 4She conceived again and gave birth to another son, and she named him Onan. 5She gave birth to yet another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to Shelah.
6Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn. Her name was Tamar. 7It turned out that Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord killed him.
