1
YAH HUDAH AND TAMAR
And so be it, at that time, Yah Hudah descends from his brothers and turns to a man - an Adullamiy whose name is Hirah:
2 and Yah Hudah sees there a daughter of a man - a Kenaaniy whose name is Shuah: and he takes her and goes in to her;
3 and she conceives and births a son; and he calls his name Er.
4 And she conceives again and births a son; and she calls his name Onan.
5 And she yet again, and births a son; and calls his name Shelah: and he is at Kezib, when she births him.
6 And Yah Hudah takes a woman for Er his firstbirth, whose name is Tamar.
7 And Er, the firstbirth of Yah Hudah, is evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and Yah Veh deathifies him.
8 And Yah Hudah says to Onan, Go in to the woman of your brother and be her levirate and raise up seed to your brother.
9 And Onan knows that the seed is not his; and so be it, when he goes in to the woman of his brother, he ruins it on the earth, lest he give seed to his brother.
10 And what he works is evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: and he deathifies him also.
