Genesis 38:17-24

17He saidH559, therefore, “I will sendH7971 you a 1youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 from the flockH6629.” She saidH559, moreover, “Will you giveH5414 a pledgeH6162 untilH5704 you sendH7971 it?” 18He saidH559, “WhatH4100 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 you?” And she saidH559, “2Your sealH2368 and your cordH6616, and your staffH4294 that is in your handH3027.” So he gaveH5414 them to her and wentH935 in to her, and she conceivedH2029 by him. 19Then she aroseH6965 and departedH1980, and 3removedH5493 her 4veilH6809 and putH3847 on her widow’sH491 garmentsH899.

20When JudahH3063 sentH7971 the 5youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 by his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 the pledgeH6162 from the woman’sH802 handH3027, he did not findH4672 her. 21He askedH7592 the menH376 of her placeH4725, sayingH559, “WhereH346 is the templeH6945 prostituteH6945 whoH1931 was by the roadH1870 at EnaimH5879?” But they saidH559, “There has beenH1961 noH3808 templeH6945 prostituteH6945 hereH2088.” 22So he returnedH7725 to JudahH3063, and saidH559, “I did not findH4672 her; and furthermoreH1571, the menH376 of the placeH4725 saidH559, ‘There has beenH1961 noH3808 templeH6945 prostituteH6945 hereH2088.’” 23Then JudahH3063 saidH559, “Let her 6keepH3947 them, otherwiseH6435 we will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH937. 7AfterH2009 allH2009, I sentH7971 thisH2088 youngH1423 goatH1423, but you did not findH4672 her.”

24Now it was about threeH7969 monthsH2320 later that JudahH3063 was informedH5046, “8Your daughter-in-lawH3618 TamarH8559 has playedH2181 the harlotH2181, and beholdH2009, she is alsoH1571 with childH2030 by harlotryH2183.” Then JudahH3063 saidH559, “BringH3318 her out and 9let her be burnedH8313!”
