Genesis 38:12-17

12After a longH7235 timeH3117 Judah’sH3063 wifeH802, the daughterH1323 of ShuaH7770, diedH4191. When JudahH3063 had finished mourningH5162, heH1931 and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726 went upH5927 toH5921 his sheepshearersH1494H6629 at TimnahH8553. 13When TamarH8559H559H2009 was toldH5046, “Your father-in-lawH2524 is going upH5927 to TimnahH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629,” 14she removedH5493 herH5921 widow’sH491 garmentsH899, covered her faceH5968 with a veilH6809 to disguise herselfH3680, and satH3427 at the entranceH6607 to EnaimH5879, whichH834 is onH5921 the wayH1870 to TimnahH8553. ForH3588 she sawH7200 thatH3588 although ShelahH7956 had grown upH1431, sheH1931 had notH3808 been givenH5414 to him as a wifeH802.

15When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 she was a prostituteH2181 becauseH3588 she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440. 16NotH3808 realizingH3045 thatH3588 sheH1931 was his daughter-in-lawH3618, he went overH5186 to herH413 and saidH559, “ComeH3051 nowH4994, let me sleep withH935 youH413.”

“WhatH4100 will you giveH5414 me forH3588 sleeping withH935H413 youH413?” she inquiredH559.

17“IH595 will send youH7971 a young goatH1423H5795 fromH4480 my flockH6629,” Judah answeredH559.

But she repliedH559, “Only ifH518 you leave meH5414 something as a pledgeH6162 untilH5704 you send itH7971.”
