^{2 Ref} and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name `is' Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.

^{3 Ref} And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;

^{4 Ref} and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan;

^{5 Ref} and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.

^{6 Ref} And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name `is' Tamar;

^{7 Ref} and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.

^{8 Ref} And Judah saith to Onan, `Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;'

^{9 Ref} and Onan knoweth that the seed is not `reckoned' his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's wife, that he hath destroyed `it' to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother;

^{10 Ref} and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.
