And she conceived again and bare a son, and said This time, will I praise Yahweh, For which cause, she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.

The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, - And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:

So Judah said unto his brethren, - What profit that we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down away from his brethren, - and turned aside unto a certain Adullamite, whose, name, was Hirah.

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose, name, was Shua, - and he took her, and went in unto her;

And Judah took a wife, for Er his firstborn, - and, her name, was Tamar.

And it came to pass that Er, Judah's firstborn was displeasing in the eyes of Yahweh, - so Yahweh put him to death,

Then said Judah to Onan, Go in unto thy brothers wife, and fulfil the duty of a brother-in-law unto her, - and raise up seed, to thy brother.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter-in-law - Remain a widow in the house of thy father until Shelah my son grow up. For he said, Lest, he also, die, like his brethren. So Tamar went her way, and remained in the house of her father.

And when the days were multiplied, then died Shua's daughter, Judah's wife, - and Judah consoled himself and went up unto his sheep shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, towards Timnah.

And Judah, seeing her, reckoned her to be an unchaste woman, - for she had covered her face.

And Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge at the hand of the woman, - but he found her not.

Then returned he unto Judah, and said - I found her not, - moreover also, the men of the place said, There hath been here no devotee..

And Judah said: Thou must take it to her, lest we become a contempt, - lo! I sent this kid, and, thou, hast not found her.

And it came to pass that about three months after, it was told Judah, saying - Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath been guilty of unchastity, moreover also lo! she hath conceived by unchastity. Then said Judah, Bring her forth and let her be burnt.

So Judah examined them and said - More righteous than I! forasmuch, as I had not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

Then spake Judah unto him saying, - The man, did protest, to us saying - Ye shall not see my face, except, your brother, is with you.

Then said Judah unto Israel his father - Come! send thou down the young man with me that we may arise and go our way, - and live and not die, both we and thou and our little ones.

And Judah and his brethren came into the house of Joseph, he, yet being there, - and fell down before him to the earth.

Then said Judah - What shall we say to my lord, how shall we speak and how shall we justify ourselves, - when, God himself, hath found out the iniquity of thy servants? Behold us! my lord's servants, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found.

Then Judah drew near unto him, and said - Pardon my lord! Pray let thy servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let thine anger be kindled against thy servant, - for, thus, art, thou as Pharaoh!

And the sons of Judah, - Er and Onan and Shelah, and Perez and Zerah, - but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul;

And he sent, Judah, before him unto Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen, - so they came in towards the land of Goshen.

Judah, as for thee, thy brethren shall praise thee when thy hand is on the neck of thy foes, - The sons of thy father, shall bow them-selves down to thee:

A lion's whelp, is Judah, From the prey, my son hast thou come up! He hath stooped - hath crouched As a lion - or as a lioness, Who shall rouse him?

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the commanders staff a from between his feet, - Until that he come in as a Shiloh, And, his, be the obedience of the peoples:
