-
And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
-
The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
-
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
-
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
-
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
-
And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
-
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.
-
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
-
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
-
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
-
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
-
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
-
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
-
And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
-
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
-
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
-
And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
-
And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
-
And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
-
And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
-
Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art 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 were Hezron and Hamul.
-
And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
-
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
-
Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
