Then Yehudah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, *Remain a widow in your father's house, until Shelach, my son, is grown up;* for he said, *Lest he also die, like his brothers.* Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
The sons of Yehudah: `Er, Onan, Shelach, Peretz, and Zerach; but `Er and Onan died in the land of Kena`an. The sons of Peretz were Chetzron and Chamul.
