Genesis 38:12-23

12And in processH7235 of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah’sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and went upH5927 to his sheepshearersH1494H6629 to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726.1 13And it was toldH5046 to TamarH8559, sayingH559, Behold thy father in lawH2524 goeth upH5927 to TimnathH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629. 14And she put offH5493 from her, her widow’sH491 garmentsH899, and covered herH3680 with a veilH6809, 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 to him for a wifeH802.2 15When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 her to be an harlotH2181; because she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440. 16And he turnedH5186 to her by the wayH1870, and saidH559, ComeH3051, I pray thee, let me come inH935 to 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 to me? 17And he saidH559, I will sendH7971 thee a kidH5795H1423 from the flockH6629. And she saidH559, Wilt thou giveH5414 me a pledgeH6162, till thou sendestH7971 it ?3 18And he saidH559, WhatH834 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 thee? And she saidH559, Thy signetH2368, and thy braceletsH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thy handH3027. And he gaveH5414 them to her, and came inH935 to her, and she conceivedH2029 by him. 19And she aroseH6965, and went her wayH3212, and laid byH5493 her veilH6809 from her, and put onH3847 the garmentsH899 of her widowhoodH491. 20And JudahH3063 sentH7971 the kidH1423H5795 by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 his pledgeH6162 from the woman’sH802 handH3027: but he found herH4672 not. 21Then he askedH7592 the menH582 of that placeH4725, sayingH559, Where is the harlotH6948, that was openlyH5869 by the way sideH1870? And they saidH559, There was no harlotH6948 in thisH2088 place .4 22And he returnedH7725 to JudahH3063, and saidH559, I cannotH3808 findH4672 her; and also the menH582 of the placeH4725 saidH559, that there was no harlotH6948 in this place . 23And JudahH3063 saidH559, Let her takeH3947 it to her, lest we be shamedH937: behold, I sentH7971 this kidH1423, and thou hast not foundH4672 her.5
