“And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.”
She became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er. The first son of Judah and the Canaanite woman is named Er. The naming is without theological commentary — unlike the extensive naming theology of the Leah and Rachel births. The application: the naming of Judah's sons from his Canaanite wife lacks the theological content that characterized the naming of Jacob's children — the covenant naming practice is absent.
