Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father’s sons will bow down before you.You are a lion’s cub, Judah, from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches and lies down like a lion; like a lioness– who will rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs; the nations will obey him.Binding his foal to the vine, and his colt to the choicest vine, he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.His eyes will be dark from wine, and his teeth white from milk.

And this is the blessing to Judah. He said, Listen, O LORD, to Judah’s voice, and bring him to his people. May his power be great, and may you help him against his foes.

Then Judah approached him and said,“ My lord, please allow your servant to speak a word with you. Please do not get angry with your servant, for you are just like Pharaoh.My lord asked his servants,‘ Do you have a father or a brother?’We said to my lord,‘ We have an aged father, and there is a young boy who was born when our father was old. The boy’s brother is dead. He is the only one of his mother’s sons left, and his father loves him.’“ Then you told your servants,‘ Bring him down to me so I can see him.’We said to my lord,‘ The boy cannot leave his father. If he leaves his father, his father will die.’But you said to your servants,‘ If your youngest brother does not come down with you, you will not see my face again.’When we returned to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.“ Then our father said,‘ Go back and buy us a little food.’But we replied,‘ We cannot go down there. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go, for we won’t be permitted to see the man’s face if our youngest brother is not with us.’“ Then your servant my father said to us,‘ You know that my wife gave me two sons.The first disappeared and I said,“ He has surely been torn to pieces.” I have not seen him since.If you take this one from me too and an accident happens to him, then you will bring down my gray hair in tragedy to the grave.’“ So now, when I return to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us– his very life is bound up in his son’s life.When he sees the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father in sorrow to the grave.Indeed, your servant pledged security for the boy with my father, saying,‘ If I do not bring him back to you, then I will bear the blame before my father all my life.’“ So now, please let your servant remain as my lord’s slave instead of the boy. As for the boy, let him go back with his brothers.For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear to see my father’s pain.”

The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah( but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

Then Judah said to his father Israel,“ Send the boy with me and we will go immediately. Then we will live and not die– we and you and our little ones.I myself pledge security for him; you may hold me liable. If I do not bring him back to you and place him here before you, I will bear the blame before you all my life.

Though Judah was the strongest among his brothers and a leader descended from him, the right of the firstborn belonged to Joseph.)

The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

At that time Judah left his brothers and stayed with an Adullamite man named Hirah.There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. Judah acquired her as a wife and had marital relations with her.She became pregnant and had a son. Judah named him Er.She became pregnant again and had another son, whom she named Onan.Then she had yet another son, whom she named Shelah. She gave birth to him in Kezib.Judah acquired a wife for Er his firstborn; her name was Tamar.But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD killed him.Then Judah said to Onan,“ Have sexual relations with your brother’s wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her so that you may raise up a descendant for your brother.”But Onan knew that the child would not be considered his. So whenever he had sexual relations with his brother’s wife, he withdrew prematurely so as not to give his brother a descendant.What he did was evil in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD killed him too.Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar,“ Live as a widow in your father’s house until Shelah my son grows up.” For he thought,“ I don’t want him to die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.After some time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah was consoled, he left for Timnah to visit his sheepshearers, along with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.Tamar was told,“ Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”So she removed her widow’s clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah.( She did this because she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.)When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.He turned aside to her along the road and said,“ Come on! I want to have sex with you.”( He did not realize it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked,“ What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?”He replied,“ I’ll send you a young goat from the flock.” She asked,“ Will you give me a pledge until you send it?”He said,“ What pledge should I give you?” She replied,“ Your seal, your cord, and the staff that’s in your hand.” So he gave them to her and had sex with her. She became pregnant by him.She left immediately, removed her veil, and put on her widow’s clothes.Then Judah had his friend Hirah the Adullamite take a young goat to get back from the woman the items he had given in pledge, but Hirah could not find her.He asked the men who were there,“ Where is the cult prostitute who was at Enaim by the road?” But they replied,“ There has been no cult prostitute here.”So he returned to Judah and said,“ I couldn’t find her. Moreover, the men of the place said,‘ There has been no cult prostitute here.’”Judah said,“ Let her keep the things for herself. Otherwise we will appear to be dishonest. I did indeed send this young goat, but you couldn’t find her.”After three months Judah was told,“ Your daughter-in-law Tamar has turned to prostitution, and as a result she has become pregnant.” Judah said,“ Bring her out and let her be burned!”While they were bringing her out, she sent word to her father-in-law:“ I am pregnant by the man to whom these belong.” Then she said,“ Identify the one to whom the seal, cord, and staff belong.”Judah recognized them and said,“ She is more upright than I am, because I wouldn’t give her to Shelah my son.” He did not have sexual relations with her again.When it was time for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb.While she was giving birth, one child put out his hand, and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying,“ This one came out first.”But then he drew back his hand, and his brother came out before him. She said,“ How you have broken out of the womb!” So he was named Perez.Afterward his brother came out– the one who had the scarlet thread on his hand– and he was named Zerah.
