Genesis 38:30

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

After this, the other baby was born. This was the baby with the red string on his hand. They named him Zerah.

See the chapter Copy

The Zerahites who lived in Jerusalem were Jeuel and their relatives. There were 690 of them in all.

Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah. (Their mother was Tamar.) Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram.

Judah’s daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. So Judah had five sons.

Pethahiah son of Meshezabel told the people what the king wanted done. (Meshezabel was one of the descendants of Zerah. Zerah was Judah’s son.)

Judah’s sons were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah. (Er and Onan died while still in Canaan.) Perez’s sons were Hezron and Hamul.
