Genesis 38:1-10

Rotherham(i) 1 And it came to pass, at that time, that Judah went down, away from his brethren,––and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was Hirah. 2 And Judah saw there, a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose, name, was Shua,––and he took her, and went in unto her; 3 and she conceived, and bare a son,––and he called his name, Er. 4 And she conceived again, and bare a son,––and she called his name Onan. 5 And she, yet again, bare a son, and called his name, Shelah,––and, she, was at Chezib, when she bare him. 6 And Judah took a wife, for Er his firstborn,––and, her name, was Tamar. 7 And it came to pass that Er, Judah’s firstborn, was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh,––so Yahweh put him to death. 8 Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and fulfill the duty of a brother–in–law unto her,––and raise up seed, to thy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed would not be his,––and so, although he did go in unto his brother’s wife, yet made he waste upon the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother. 10 And it was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, what he had done,––so he put, him also, to death.
