Haydock's commentary
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 xv. 44. "He (Juda) was at Casbi when she bare him."
