Genesis 38:17-20

17“I will send you a young goat from the flock,” he said, “Provided you give a pledge until you send it,” she said.

18“What kind of pledge shall I give you?” he asked. “Your seal, and your cord, and your staff in your hand,” she said. So he gave them to her and he slept with her, and she got pregnant by him.

19After she got up and left, she removed her veil from herself and put on her widow’s clothes.

20When Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the woman’s hand, he could not find her.
