1 About the same time, Judah, descending from his brothers, turned toward an Adullamite man, named Hirah.

and to be in/on/with time [the] he/she/it and to go down Judah from with brother: male-sibling his and to stretch till man Adullamite and name his Hirah

2 And he saw there the daughter of a man called Shua, of Canaan. And taking her as a wife, he entered to her.

and to see: see there Judah daughter man Canaanite and name his Shua and to take: marry her and to come (in): come to(wards) her

3 And she conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Er.

4 And conceiving offspring again, having given birth to a son, she called him Onan.

6 Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.

7 And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.

and to be Er firstborn Judah bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD and to die him LORD

8 Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.”

and to say Judah to/for Onan to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling your and be brother-in-law [obj] her and to arise: establish seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling your

9 He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.

and to know Onan for not to/for him to be [the] seed: children and to be if to come (in): come to(wards) woman: wife brother: male-sibling his and to ruin land: soil [to] to/for lest to give: give seed: children to/for brother: male-sibling his

10 And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.

and be evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD which to make: do and to die also [obj] him

11 Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived in her father’s house.

and to say Judah to/for Tamar daughter-in-law his to dwell widow house: household father your till to magnify Shelah son: child my for to say lest to die also he/she/it like/as brother: male-sibling his and to go: went Tamar and to dwell house: household father her

12 Then, after many days had passed, the daughter of Shua, the wife of Judah, died. And when he accepted consolation after his mourning, he went up to the shearers of his sheep at Timnah, he and Hirah, the herdsman of the Adullamite flock.

and to multiply [the] day and to die daughter Shua woman: wife Judah and to be sorry: comfort Judah and to ascend: rise upon to shear flock his he/she/it and Hirah neighbor his [the] Adullamite Timnah [to]

13 And it was reported to Tamar that her father-in-law had gone up to Timnah to shear the sheep.

and to tell to/for Tamar to/for to say behold father-in-law your to ascend: rise Timnah [to] to/for to shear flock his

14 And storing away the garments of her widowhood, she took up a veil. And changing her clothing, she sat at the crossroad that leads to Timnah, because Shelah had grown up, and she had not received him as a husband.

and to turn aside: remove garment widowhood her from upon her and to cover in/on/with shawl and to enwrap and to dwell in/on/with entrance Enaim which upon way: road Timnah [to] for to see: see for to magnify Shelah and he/she/it not to give: give(marriage) to/for him to/for woman: wife

15 And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot. For she had covered her face, lest she be recognized.

and to see: see her Judah and to devise: think her to/for to fornicate for to cover face her

16 And entering to her, he said, “Permit me to join with you.” For he did not know her to be his daughter-in-law. And she responded, “What will you give to me, to enjoy me as a concubine?”

and to stretch to(wards) her to(wards) [the] way: road and to say to give [emph?] please to come (in): come to(wards) you for not to know for daughter-in-law his he/she/it and to say what? to give: give to/for me for to come (in): come to(wards) me

17 He said, “I will send you a young goat from the flock.” And again, she said, “I will allow what you want, if you give me a pledge, until you may send what you promise.”

and to say I to send: depart kid goat from [the] flock and to say if to give: give pledge till to send: depart you

18 Judah said, “What do you want to be given for a pledge?” She responded, “Your ring and bracelet, and the staff that you hold in your hand.” Thereupon, the woman, from one sexual encounter, conceived.

and to say what? [the] pledge which to give: give to/for you and to say signet your and cord your and tribe: rod your which in/on/with hand your and to give: give to/for her and to come (in): come to(wards) her and to conceive to/for him

19 And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.

and to arise: rise and to go: went and to turn aside: remove shawl her from upon her and to clothe garment widowhood her

20 Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found her,

and to send: depart Judah [obj] kid [the] goat in/on/with hand neighbor his [the] Adullamite to/for to take: take [the] pledge from hand [the] woman and not to find her

21 he questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”

and to ask [obj] human place her to/for to say where? [the] cult prostitute he/she/it in/on/with Enaim upon [the] way: road and to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute

22 He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”

and to return: return to(wards) Judah and to say not to find her and also human [the] place to say not to be in/on/with this cult prostitute

23 Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did not find her.”

and to say Judah to take: take to/for her lest to be to/for contempt behold to send: depart [the] kid [the] this and you(m. s.) not to find her

24 And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”

and to be like/as from three month and to tell to/for Judah to/for to say to fornicate Tamar daughter-in-law your and also behold pregnant to/for fornication and to say Judah to come out: send her and to burn

25 But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”

he/she/it to come out: send and he/she/it to send: depart to(wards) father-in-law her to/for to say to/for man which these to/for him I pregnant and to say to recognize please to/for who? [the] ring and [the] cord and [the] tribe: rod [the] these

26 But he, acknowledging the gifts, said: “She is more just than I am. For I did not deliver her to my son Shelah.” However, he knew her no more.

and to recognize Judah and to say to justify from me for as that: since as as not to give: give her to/for Shelah son: child my and not to add: again still to/for to know her

27 Then, at the moment of birth, there appeared twins in the womb. And so, in the very delivery of the infants, one put forth a hand, on which the midwife tied a scarlet thread, saying,

and to be in/on/with time to beget she and behold twin in/on/with belly: womb her

28 “This one will go out first.”

and to be in/on/with to beget she and to give: put hand and to take: take [the] to beget and to conspire upon hand his scarlet to/for to say this to come out: produce first

29 But in truth, drawing back his hand, the other came out. And the woman said, “Why is the partition divided for you?” And for this reason, she called his name Perez.

and to be like/as to return: return hand his and behold to come out: produce brother: male-sibling his and to say what? to break through upon you breach and to call: call by name his Perez

30 After this, his brother came out, on whose hand was the scarlet thread. And she called him Zerah.
