Genesis 38:3

Er

1 About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.

2 There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.

So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.

4 Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.

5 Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
