Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

1 About that time Judah left his brothers and went to stay with a man named Hirah, who was from the town of Adullam.

2 There Judah met a young Canaanite woman whose father was named Shua. He married her,

3 and she bore him a son, whom he named Er.

4 She became pregnant again and bore another son and named him Onan.

5 Again she had a son and named him Shelah. Judah was at Achzib when the boy was born.

6 For his first son Er, Judah got a wife whose name was Tamar.

7 Er's conduct was evil, and it displeased the Lord, so the Lord killed him.

8 Then Judah said to Er's brother Onan, "Go and sleep with your brother's widow. Fulfill your obligation to her as her husband's brother, so that your brother may have descendants."

7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death.
