Genesis 38:1

Verse 1 of 30. The 38th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1At that time, Judah went down from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

2There, Judah saw the daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shua. He took her, and went in to her.

3She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er.

4She conceived again, and bore a son; and she named him Onan.

5She yet again bore a son, and named him Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
