Genesis 38:17-20

17And he saidH559, I will sendH7971 thee a kid of the goatsH5795 from the flockH6629. And she saidH559, Wilt thou giveH5414 me a pledgeH6162, till thou sendH7971 it? 18And he saidH559, What pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 thee? And she saidH559, Thy signet and thy cordH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 them to her, and cameH935 in unto her, and she conceivedH2029 by him. 19And she aroseH6965, and went awayH5493, and putH3847 off her veilH6809 from her, and putH3847 on the garmentsH899 of her widowhoodH491. 20And JudahH3063 sentH7971 the kid of the goatsH5795 by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 the pledgeH6162 from the woman’sH802 handH3027: but he foundH4672 her not.
