And she conceived again, and bore a son; and she said, This time I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah, and quit bearing.

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we should kill our brother and hide his blood?

And it happened at that time Judah went down from his brothers and turned in to a certain Adullamite, named Hirah.

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite man named Shuah. And he took her and went in to her.

And Judah took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Tamar.

And Er, Judah's first-born, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah killed him.

And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother.

Then said Judah to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at your father's house until Shelah my son is grown. For he said, Lest perhaps he die also, as his brothers did. And Tamar went and lived in her father's house.

And the days were many, and Judah's wife, the daughter of Shuah, died. And Judah was comforted, and went up to shearers of his sheep, he and his friend Hiram of Adullam, to Timnah.

When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face.

And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand. But he did not find her.

And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her. And also the men of the place said, There was no harlot here.

And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.

And it happened, about three months afterward, that it was told Judah, saying, Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burned.

And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She has been more righteous than I have, because I did not give her to my son Shelah. And he never knew her again.

And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man solemnly protested to us, saying, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the boy with me, and we will arise and go, so that we may live and not die, both we and you, also our little ones.

And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, for he was still there. And they fell before him to the earth.

And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also with whom the cup is found.

And Judah came near him and said, O my lord, pray let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and do not let your anger burn against your servant, for you are even as Pharaoh.

And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah. But Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez: Hezron and Hamul.

And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen.

Judah, may your brothers praise you. May your hand be in the neck of your enemies. May your father's sons bow before you.

Judah is a lion's whelp. My son, you have gone up from the prey. He stooped, he crouched like a lion; and like a lioness, who shall rouse him?

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come. And the obedience of the peoples to him.
