Genesis 38:24-30

24And it came to pass about threeH7969 monthsH2320 after, that it wasH1961 toldH5046 JudahH3063, sayingH559, TamarH8559 thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is alsoH1571 with child by fornication. And JudahH3063 saidH559, BringH3318 her forthH3318, that she may beH1961 burnedH8313. 25WhenH834 she was broughtH3318 forthH3318, she sentH7971 to her father-in-law, sayingH559, By the manH376 to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she saidH559, AcknowledgeH5234, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staffH4294. 26And JudahH3063 acknowledged [them], and saidH559, She is moreH4480 righteousH6663 than I, because I have not givenH5414 her to ShelahH7956 my sonH1121. And he knewH3045 her againH5750 no moreH4480. 27And it came to pass at the timeH6256 of her delivery, that behold, twinsH8380 wereH1961 in her wombH990. 28And it came to pass when she broughtH3318 forthH3318, that oneH2088 stretched out [his] handH3027, and the midwife tookH3947 it and boundH7194 round his handH3027 a scarletH8144 thread, sayingH559, This came out firstH7223. 29And it came to pass as he drew backH7725 his handH3027, that behold, his brotherH251 came out; and she saidH559, HowH4100 hast thou brokenH6555 forthH3318! on thee beH1961 the breachH6556! And they calledH7121 his nameH8034 Pherez. 30And afterwards cameH3318 out his brotherH251, round whose handH3027 was the scarletH8144 thread; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 ZerahH2226.
