Genesis 38:18-25

18He saidH559, “WhatH4100 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 you?” And she saidH559, “1Your sealH2368 and your cordH6616, and your staffH4294 that is in your handH3027.” So he gaveH5414 them to her and hadH935 relationsH935 withH935 her, and she conceivedH2029 by him. 19Then she gotH6965 upH6965 and departedH1980, and 2removedH5493 her 3veilH6809 and putH3847 onH3847 her widow’sH491 garmentsH899.

20When JudahH3063 sentH7971 the 4youngH1423H5795 goatH1423H5795 by his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 the pledgeH6162 from the woman’sH802 handH3027, he did not findH4672 her. 21He askedH7592 the peopleH376 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 peopleH376 of the placeH4725 saidH559, ‘There has beenH1961 noH3808 templeH6945 prostituteH6945 hereH2088.’” 23Then JudahH3063 saidH559, “Let her 5keepH3947 them, otherwiseH6435 we will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH937. 6AfterH2009 allH2009, I sentH7971 thisH2088 youngH1423 goatH1423, but you did not findH4672 her.”

24Now it was about threeH7969 monthsH2320 laterH4480 that JudahH3063 was 7informedH5046, “Your daughter-in-lawH3618 TamarH8559 has prostitutedH2181 herself, and beholdH2009, she is alsoH1571 pregnantH2030 by prostitutionH2183.” Then JudahH3063 saidH559, “BringH3318 her outH3318 and 8have her burnedH8313!” 25It was while she was being broughtH3318 outH3318 that she sentH7971 word to her father-in-lawH2524, sayingH559, “I am pregnantH2030 by the manH376 to whomH834 theseH428 thingsH428 belong.” She also saidH559, “9PleaseH4994 examineH5234 andH5234 seeH5234, whoseH4310 signetH2368 ringH2858 and cordsH6616 and staffH4294 are theseH428?”
