2 Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her and went in to her. 3 So she conceived and bore a son and he named him Er. 4 Then she conceived again and bore a son and named him Onan. 5 She bore still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezibcthat she bore him. | |
6 Now Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, so the LORD took his life. 8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise updoffspring for your brother.” 9 Onan knew that theeoffspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, hefwasted his seed on the ground in order not to givegoffspring to his brother. 10 But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also. |
