Genesis 38:5 She bore also a third: whom she called Sela. After whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.

Sela. Juda gave the name of Her to his first-born, as the Hebrew shews. His wife gave names to the two latter. --- Ceased; Hebrew casbi: "she died in bearing him," as Aquila has it. Most commentators take the word for the name of a place mentioned, Josue 15:44. "He (Juda) was at Casbi when she bare him."
