Genesis 38:27-30

27It cameH1961 aboutH1961 at the timeH6256 she was givingH3205 birthH3205, that beholdH2009, there were 1twinsH8420 in her wombH990.

28Moreover, it tookH1961 placeH1961 while she was givingH3205 birthH3205, that one baby putH5414 out a handH3027, and the midwifeH3205 tookH3947 and tiedH7194 a scarletH8144 thread on his handH3027, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 oneH2088 cameH3318 outH3318 firstH7223.”

29But it cameH1961 aboutH1961 as he drewH7725 backH7725 his handH3027 that beholdH2009, his brotherH251 cameH3318 outH3318. Then she saidH559, “WhatH4100 a breachH6556 you have madeH6555 for yourself!” So he was namedH7121H8034 23PerezH6557.

30AfterwardH310 his brotherH251 cameH3318 outH3318 whoH834 had the scarletH8144 thread on his handH3027; and he was namedH7121H8034 45ZerahH2226.
