Judah is the fourth son of Jacob and Leah. He is the head of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and his name means praise. Judah is in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Judah suggested that his brothers sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites rather than kill him. He told his father that he would take responsibility for sending Benjamin to Egypt after Joseph detained Simeon. After arriving in Egypt, the second time, Judah challenged Joseph to detain him rather than his younger brother Benjamin. Judah married a Canaanite woman, and they had three sons whose names are Er, Onan, and Shelah. Er married a woman named Tamar, but he soon died. His brother Onan married Tamar, his brother's wife, and he, too, died. Judah thinking there was a curse on Tamar, withheld his third son Shelah from Tamar and sent her back home to her parents. After his wife dies, Judah goes to Timnath, where he had a sexual encounter with a woman he thought was a harlot. The woman was Tamar, his daughter-in-law, and she conceived. She gave birth to twin boys. The first son was named Pharez, and the second son was named Zarah. Judah and his sons traveled with his father Jacob when he relocated to Egypt.
