Genesis 38:24-30

24And it cameH1961 to passH1961 aboutH1961 threeH7969 monthsH2320 afterH1961, that it was toldH5046 JudahH3063, sayingH559, TamarH8559 thy daughter in law hath playedH2181 the harlotH2181; and moreoverH1571, beholdH2009, sheH2320 is with childH2030 by whoredom. And JudahH3063 saidH559, BringH3318 herH5046 forthH3318, and letH1961 herH5046 be burntH8313. 25When sheH1931 was broughtH3318 forthH3318, sheH1931 sentH7971 to herH413 father in law, sayingH559, By the manH376, whoseH834 theseH428 are, am I with childH2030: and sheH1931 saidH559, DiscernH5234, I prayH4994 thee, whoseH834 are theseH428, the signet, and the cordsH6616, and the staffH4294. 26And JudahH3063 acknowledgedH3045 them, and saidH559, SheH3588 is moreH4480 righteousH6663 thanH4480 I; forasmuch as I gaveH5414 herH5921 notH3808 to ShelahH7956 my sonH1121. And he knewH3045 herH5921 againH5750 noH3808 moreH4480. 27And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the time of herH1961 travail, that, beholdH2009, twinsH8380 were in herH1961 wombH990. 28And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when she travailed, that one putH5414 outH3318 a handH3027: and the midwifeH3205 tookH3947 and boundH7194 uponH5921 his handH3027 a scarletH8144 thread, sayingH559, This cameH1961 outH3318 firstH7223. 29And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as he drewH7725 backH7725 his handH3027, that, beholdH2009, his brotherH251 cameH1961 outH3318: and sheH7121 saidH559, Wherefore hast thou madeH1961 a breachH6556 for thyself? therefore his nameH8034 was calledH7121 PerezH6557. 30And afterwardH310 cameH3318 outH3318 his brotherH251, that had the scarletH8144 thread uponH5921 his handH3027: and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 ZerahH2226.
