The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

She became pregnant and had a son. Judah named him Er.

Judah acquired a wife for Er his firstborn; her name was Tamar.

But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the Lord’s sight, so the Lord killed him.
