Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
He lived in the wilderness of Paran. His mother got a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.
I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, amongst whom I live.
She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight. So the LORD killed him.
Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram.
