Meanings

Shelah

Man, possibly to be identified with Shiloh; third son of Judah

Examples
Genesis 38:5 She gave birth to yet another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
Genesis 38:11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Remain a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up”; for he thought, “I am afraid that he too may die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
Genesis 38:14 So she removed her widow’s garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
