The LORD kills Er, Judah’s firstborn, and Tamar bears Perez and Zerah

여호와께서 유다의 맏아들 에르를 죽이심과 다말이 낳은 베레스와 세라

1 Chronicles 2:3–4: the text says, “The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah, which three were born to him of Shua’s daughter the Canaanitess. Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; and he killed him. Tamar his daughter-in-law bore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.” The Korean Revised Version names the LORD as the one who killed Er (여호와께서 죽이셨고, the LORD killed him), where WEB reads “he killed him”; it reads 가나안 사람 수아의 딸, setting 가나안 사람 (the Canaanite) before Shua’s name, and names Judah at 2:4 where WEB says “his” and “him” (유다의 며느리 다말이 유다로 말미암아, Tamar, Judah’s daughter-in-law, by Judah).
