Genesis 38:14-18
14So she 1removed her widow’s garments and 2covered herself with a 3veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of 4Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and 5she had not been given to him as a wife.
15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.
16So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, “6Here now, let me come in to you”; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
17He said, therefore, “I will send you a 7young goat from the flock.” She said, moreover, “Will you give a pledge until you send it?”
18He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” And she said, “8Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
