Genesis 38:17-20

17“I’ll send you a young goat from the flock,” he answered. She said, “First give me something as a deposit until you send it.”

18“What should I give you as a deposit?” he asked. “Your signet ring, its cord, and the shepherd’s staff that’s in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her. Then he slept with her, and she became pregnant.

19After she got up and left, she took off her veil and put her widow’s clothes back on.

20Judah sent his friend Hirah to deliver the young goat so that he could get back his deposit from the woman, but his friend couldn’t find her.
