³she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.^(A) ⁴She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.^(B) ⁵She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah.^(C) It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.

⁶Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.^(D) ⁷But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight;^(E) so the Lord put him to death.^(F)

⁸Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”^(G) ⁹But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. ¹⁰What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.^(H)
