Genesis 38:24-29

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.

27When the timeH6256 cameH1961 for Tamar to give birthH3205, thereH2009 were twinsH8380 in her wombH990. 28AndH1961 as she was giving birthH3205, one of them put outH5414 his handH3027; so the midwifeH3205 tookH3947 a scarlet threadH8144 and tiedH7194 it aroundH5921 his wristH3027. “ThisH2088 one came outH3318 firstH7223,” she announcedH559. 29But when he pulled his handH3027H2009 backH7725 and his brotherH251 came outH3318, she saidH559H4100, “You have broken out firstH6555H5921H6556!” So he was namedH7121H8034 PerezH6557.1
