Contextual Overview

1 The sons of Israel were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 3 Judah's sons were Er, Onan, and Shelah. A Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua, was their mother. Judah's first son, Er, did what the Lord said was wicked, so the Lord put him to death. 4 Judah's daughter-in-law Tamar gave birth to Perez and Zerah. Judah was the father, so Judah had five sons. 5 Perez's sons were Hezron and Hamul. 6 Zerah had five sons: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Darda. 7 Carmi's son was Achan, who caused trouble for Israel because he took things that had been given to the Lord to be destroyed. 8 Ethan's son was Azariah. 9 Hezron's sons were Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb. 10 Ram was Amminadab's father, and Amminadab was Nahshon's father. Nahshon was the leader of the people of Judah.
