13 H5046 It was told H8559 Tamar, H559 saying, H2524 "Behold, your father-in-law H5927 is going up H8553 to Timnah H1494 to shear H6629 his sheep."

14 H5493 She took off H899 of her the garments H3680 of her H491 widowhood, H3680 and covered herself with her H6809 veil, H5968 and wrapped herself, H3427 and sat in H5869 the gate H6607 of Enaim, H1870 which is by the way H8553 to Timnah; H7200 for she saw H7956 that Shelah H1431 was grown H5414 up, and she wasn't given H802 to him as a wife.

15 H3063 When Judah H7200 saw her, H2803 he thought H2181 that she was a prostitute, H3680 for she had covered H6440 her face.

16 H5186 He turned H1870 to her by the way, H559 and said, H3051 "Please come, H935 let me come in H3045 to you," for he didn't know H3618 that she was his daughter-in-law. H559 She said, H5414 "What will you give H935 me, that you may come in to me?"

17 H559 He said, H7971 "I will send H5795 you a young goat H6629 from the flock." H559 She said, H5414 "Will you give H6162 me a pledge, H7971 until you send it?"

18 H559 He said, H834 "What H6162 pledge H5414 will I give H559 you?" She said, H2368 "Your signet H6616 and your cord, H4294 and your staff H3027 that is in your hand." H5414 He gave H935 them to her, and came in H2029 to her, and she conceived by him.

19 H6965 She arose, H3212 and went away, H5493 and put off H6809 her veil H3847 from her, and put on H899 the garments H491 of her widowhood.

20 H3063 Judah H7971 sent H1423 the young goat H3027 by the hand H7453 of his friend, H5726 the Adullamite, H3947 to receive H6162 the pledge H802 from the woman's H3027 hand, H4672 but he didn't find her.

21 H7592 Then he asked H582 the men H4725 of her place, H559 saying, H6948 "Where is the prostitute, H5869 that was at H1870 Enaim by the road?" H559 They said, H6948 "There has been no prostitute H2088 here."

22 H7725 He returned H3063 to Judah, H559 and said, H3808 "I haven't H4672 found H582 her; and also the men H4725 of the place H559 said, H6948 ‘There has been no prostitute here.'"

23 H3063 Judah H559 said, H3947 "Let her keep H937 it, lest we be shamed. H7971 Behold, I sent H1423 this young goat, H4672 and you haven't found her."

24 H7969 It happened about three H2320 months H5046 later, that it was told H3063 Judah, H559 saying, H8559 "Tamar, H3618 your daughter-in-law, H2181 has played the prostitute; H2030 and moreover, behold, she is with child H2183 by prostitution." H3063 Judah H559 said, H3318 "Bring her out, H8313 and let her be burnt."

25 H3318 When she was brought out, H7971 she sent H2524 to her father-in-law, H559 saying, H376 "By the man, H2030 whose these are, I am with child." H559 She also said, H5234 "Please discern H2858 whose are these—the signet, H6616 and the cords, H4294 and the staff."

26 H3063 Judah H5234 acknowledged H559 them, and said, H6663 "She is more righteous H5414 than I, because I didn't give H7956 her to Shelah, H1121 my son." H3045 He knew her H3254 again no more.

27 H6256 It happened in the time H3205 of her travail, H8380 that behold, twins H990 were in her womb.

28 H3205 When she travailed, H5414 one put out H3027 a hand, H3205 and the midwife H3947 took H7194 and tied H8144 a scarlet thread H3027 on his hand, H559 saying, H3318 "This came out H7223 first."

29 H7725 It happened, as he drew back H3027 his hand, H251 that behold, his brother H3318 came out, H559 and she said, H6555 "Why have you made H6556 a breach H8034 for yourself?" Therefore his name H7121 was called H6557 Perez.

30 H310 Afterward H251 his brother H3318 came out, H8144 that had the scarlet thread H3027 on his hand, H8034 and his name H7121 was called H2226 Zerah.
