Genesis 38:24-26

24AboutH1961 threeH7969 months laterH2320, JudahH3063 was toldH5046, “Your daughter-in-lawH3618 TamarH8559 has prostituted herselfH2181, andH1571 nowH2009 she is pregnantH2030H2183.”

“Bring her outH3318!” JudahH3063 repliedH559. “Let her be burned to deathH8313!”

25As sheH1931 was being brought outH3318, Tamar sentH7971 a messageH559 to herH413 father-in-lawH2524: “I amH595 pregnantH2030 by the man to whomH834 these itemsH428 belong.” And she addedH559, “PleaseH4994 examine themH5234. WhoseH4310 sealH2858 and cordH6616 and staffH4294 are theseH428?”

26JudahH3063 recognizedH5234 the items and saidH559, “She is more righteousH6663 than IH4480, sinceH3588H5921H3651 I did notH3808 give herH5414 to my sonH1121 ShelahH7956.” And he did notH3808 have relations with herH3045 againH3254H5750.
