But this Er Iudas eldest sonne was wicked in the syghte of the LORde wherfore the LORde slewe him.
8
Than sayde Iudas vnto Onan: goo in to thi brothers wyfe and Marie her and styrre vp seed vnto thy brother.
9
And when Onan perceaued that the seed shulde not be his: therfore when he went in to his brothers wife he spylled it on the grounde because he wold not geue seed vnto his brother.
10
And the thinge which he dyd displeased the LORde wherfore he slew him also.
11
Than sayde Iudas to Thamar his doughter in lawe: remayne a wydow at thi fathers house tyll Sela my sonne be growne: for he feared lest he shulde haue dyed also as his brethren did. Thus went Thamar and dwelt in hir fathers house.
12
And in processe of tyme the doughter of Sua Iudas wife dyed. Than Iudas when he had left mornynge went vnto his shepe sherers to Thimnath with his frende Hira of Odollam.
13
And one told Thamar saynge: beholde thy father in lawe goth vp to Thimnath to shere his shepe.
14
And she put hyr wydows garmetes of from her and couered her with a clooke and disgyssed herself: And sat her downe at the entrynge of Enaim which is by the hye wayes syde to Thimnath for because she sawe that Sela was growne and she was not geue vnto him to wife.
15
When Iuda sawe her he thought it had bene an hoore because she had couered hyr face.
16
And turned to her vnto the waye and sayde come I praye the let me lye with the for he knewe not that it was his doughter in lawe. And she sayde what wylt thou gyue me for to lye with me?

Tha sayde he I will sende the a kydd fro the flocke. She answered Than geue me a pledge till thou sende it.
