And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.

7 and to be Er firstborn Judah bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to die him LORD

Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.

Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

12 and to multiply [the] day and to die daughter Shua woman: wife Judah and to be sorry: comfort Judah and to ascend: rise upon to shear flock his he/she/it and Hirah neighbor his [the] Adullamite Timnah [to]

And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.

She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.

15 and to see: see her Judah and to devise: think her to/for to fornicate for to cover face her

When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?

17 and to say I to send: depart kid goat from [the] flock and to say if to give: give pledge till to send: depart you

And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing.

22 and to return: return to(wards) Judah and to say not to find her and also human [the] place to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute

And while she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, The man whose property these things are, is the father of my child: say then, whose are this ring and this cord and this stick?

26 and to recognize Judah and to say to justify from me for as that: since as as not to give: give her to/for Shelah son: child my and not to add: again still to/for to know her

Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

27 and to be in/on/with time to beget she and behold twin in/on/with belly: womb her

And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.
