Judah chose a girl named Tamar to be the wife of his first son Er.
He lived in the Desert of Paran, and his mother found a wife for him in Egypt.
Make a promise to me before the Lord, the God of heaven and earth. Don’t get a wife for my son from the Canaanite girls who live around here.
Still later she had another son and named him Shelah. She was at Kezib when this third son was born.
But Er, Judah’s oldest son, did what the Lord said was evil, so the Lord killed him.
Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah. (Their mother was Tamar.) Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram.
