a woman named Tamar. 7But the LORD considered Judah's oldest son Er immoral, and the LORD put him to death. Judah said to Onan, "Go to your brother's wife, do your duty as her brother-in-law, and provide children for your brother." "Onan knew the children wouldn't be his so when he slept with his brother's wife, he wasted his semen on the ground, so he wouldn't give his brother children. 10The LORD considered what he did as wrong and put him to death too. "Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, "Stay as a widow in your father's household until my son Shelah grows up." He thought Shelah would die like his brothers had. So Tamar went and lived in her father's household.
12 After a long time, Judah's wife the daughter of Shua, died. Then, after a period of mourning, he and his neighbor Hirah the Adullamite went up to Timnah, to those who were shearing his sheep. 13 Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is now on his way up to Timnah to shear his sheep." 14 So Tamar took off the clothing she wore as a widow, covered herself with a veil, put on makeup, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim on the road to Timnah, since she realized that although Shelah had already grown up, she hadn't been given to him as a wife.
15 Judah saw her and thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face. 16 He turned to her beside the road and said, "Let me sleep with you," because he didn't know she was his daughter-in-law.
medicinal resin, and fragrant resin on their way down to Egypt. 26 Judah said to his brothers, "What do we gain if we kill our brother and hide his blood? 27 Come on, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites. Let's not harm him because he's our brother; he's family." His brothers agreed. 28When some Midianite traders passed by, they pulled Joseph up out of the cistern. They sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver, and they brought Joseph to Egypt.
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and found that Joseph wasn't in it, he tore his clothes. 30Then he returned to his brothers and said, "The boy's gone! And I-where can I go now?"
31 His brothers took Joseph's robe, slaughtered a male goat, and dipped the robe in the blood. 32 They took the long robe, brought it to their father, and said, "We found this. See if it's your son's robe or not."
33 He recognized it and said, "It's my son's robe! A wild animal has devoured him. Joseph must have been torn to pieces!" 34 Then Jacob tore his clothes, put a simple mourning cloth around his waist, and mourned for his son for many days. 35 All of his sons and daughters got up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, telling them, "I'll go to my grave mourning for my son." And Joseph's father wept for him. 36 Meanwhile the Midianites had sold Joseph to the Egyptians, to Potiphar, Pharaoh's chief officer, commander of the royal guard.

At that time, Judah moved away from his brothers and settled near an Adullamite named Hirah. 2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her. After he slept with her, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, whom sheh named Er. "She became pregnant again, gave birth to a son, and named him Onan. 5Then she gave birth to one more son and named him Shelah. She was in Chezib when she gave birth to him.
She said, "What will you give me for sleeping with you?"
17 He said, "I will give you a kid goat from my flock.”
She said, "Only if you give me some deposit, as security to guarantee that you will send it."
18 He said, "What kind of deposit should I give you?"
And she said, "Your seal, its cord, and the staff in your hand." He gave these to her, slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
