Genesis 38:12-15

12And in process of time Shua’s daughterH1323, the wifeH802 of JudahH3063, diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and wentH5927 upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH1494 to TimnahH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726.

13And it was toldH5046 TamarH8559, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, thy father in law goeth upH5927 to TimnahH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629.

14And sheH1931 putH5414 offH5921 from herH5921 the garmentsH899 of herH5921 widowhoodH491, and coveredH3680 herselfH1931 with herH5921 veilH6809, and wrappedH5968 herselfH1931, and satH3427 in the gateH6607 of Enaim, whichH834 is by the wayH1870 to TimnahH8553; for sheH1931 sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431 upH7200, and sheH1931 was notH3808 givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802.

15When JudahH3063 sawH7200 herH7200, he thoughtH2803 herH7200 to be an harlotH2181; for sheH3588 had coveredH3680 herH7200 faceH6440.
