38 It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and ^oturned aside to a certain ^pAdullamite, whose name was Hirah.

12 The sons of ^tJudah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but ^uEr and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of ^vPerez were Hezron and Hamul.

20 And the sons of Judah according to their clans were: of Shelah, the clan of the Shelanites; of Perez, the clan of the Perezites; of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahites.
