Genesis 38:14-16
14And she putH5493 her widow’sH491 garmentsH899 offH5493 from her, and covered herH3680 with a vailH6809, and wrapped herselfH5968, and sat inH3427 an openH5869 placeH6607, which is by the wayH1870 to TimnathH8553; for she sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431, and she was not givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802.1
15When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 her to be an harlotH2181; because she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440.
16And he turnedH5186 unto her by the wayH1870, and saidH559, Go toH3051, I pray thee, let me come inH935 unto thee; (for he knewH3045 not that she was his daughter in lawH3618.) And she saidH559, What wilt thou giveH5414 me, that thou mayest come inH935 unto me?
