Genesis 38:24-26

24Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, “1Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry.” Then Judah said, “Bring her out and 2let her be burned!” 25It was while she was being brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man to whom these things belong.” And she said, “3Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?” 26Judah recognized them, and said, “4She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as 5I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not 6have relations with her again.
