Genesis 38:24-26

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