Genesis 38:14-30 And she put off from her, her widow's garments , and covered her with a veil , and wrapped herself , and sat in an open place , which is by the way to Timnath ; for she saw that Shelah was grown , and she was not given to him for a wife.

14 H5493 [H8686] And she put off H491 from her, her widow's H899 garments H3680 [H8762] , and covered her H6809 with a veil H5968 [H8691] , and wrapped herself H3427 [H8799] , and sat in H5869 an open H6607 place H1870 , which is by the way H8553 to Timnath H7200 [H8804] ; for she saw H7956 that Shelah H1431 [H8804] was grown H5414 [H8738] , and she was not given H802 to him for a wife.

15 H3063 When Judah H7200 [H8799] saw her H2803 [H8799] , he thought H2181 [H8802] her to be an harlot H3680 [H8765] ; because she had covered H6440 her face.

16 H5186 [H8799] And he turned H1870 to her by the way H559 [H8799] , and said H3051 [H8798] , Come H935 [H8799] , I pray thee, let me come in H3045 [H8804] to thee; (for he knew H3618 not that she was his daughter in law H559 [H8799] .) And she said H5414 [H8799] , What wilt thou give H935 [H8799] me, that thou mayest come in to me?

17 H559 [H8799] And he said H7971 [H8762] , I will send H5795 H1423 thee a kid H6629 from the flock H559 [H8799] . And she said H5414 [H8799] , Wilt thou give H6162 me a pledge H7971 [H8800] , till thou sendest it?

18 H559 [H8799] And he said H834 , What H6162 pledge H5414 [H8799] shall I give H559 [H8799] thee? And she said H2368 , Thy signet H6616 , and thy bracelets H4294 , and thy staff H3027 that is in thy hand H5414 [H8799] . And he gave H935 [H8799] them to her, and came in H2029 [H8799] to her, and she conceived by him.

19 H6965 [H8799] And she arose H3212 [H8799] , and went her way H5493 [H8686] , and laid by H6809 her veil H3847 [H8799] from her, and put on H899 the garments H491 of her widowhood.

20 H3063 And Judah H7971 [H8799] sent H1423 H5795 the kid H3027 by the hand H7453 of his friend H5726 the Adullamite H3947 [H8800] , to receive H6162 his pledge H802 from the woman's H3027 hand H4672 [H8804] : but he found her not.

21 H7592 [H8799] Then he asked H582 the men H4725 of that place H559 [H8800] , saying H6948 , Where is the harlot H5869 , that was openly H1870 by the way side H559 [H8799] ? And they said H6948 , There was no harlot H2088 in this place.

22 H7725 [H8799] And he returned H3063 to Judah H559 [H8799] , and said H3808 , I cannot H4672 [H8804] find H582 her; and also the men H4725 of the place H559 [H8804] said H6948 , that there was no harlot in this place.

23 H3063 And Judah H559 [H8799] said H3947 [H8799] , Let her take H937 it to her, lest we be shamed H7971 [H8804] : behold, I sent H1423 this kid H4672 [H8804] , and thou hast not found her.

24 H7969 And it came to pass about three H2320 months H5046 [H8714] after, that it was told H3063 to Judah H559 [H8800] , saying H8559 , Tamar H3618 thy daughter in law H2181 [H8804] hath played the harlot H2030 ; and also, behold, she is with child H2183 by harlotry H3063 . And Judah H559 [H8799] said H3318 [H8685] , Bring her forth H8313 [H8735] , and let her be burnt.

25 H3318 [H8716] When she was brought forth H7971 [H8804] , she sent H2524 to her father in law H559 [H8800] , saying H376 , By the man H2030 , whose these are, am I with child H559 [H8799] : and she said H5234 [H8685] , Discern H2858 , I pray thee, whose are these, the signet H6616 , and bracelets H4294 , and staff.

26 H3063 And Judah H5234 [H8686] acknowledged H559 [H8799] them, and said H6663 [H8804] , She hath been more righteous H5414 [H8804] than I; because that I gave H7956 her not to Shelah H1121 my son H3045 [H8800] . And he knew her H3254 [H8804] again no more.

27 H6256 And it came to pass in the time H3205 [H8800] of her travail H8380 , that, behold, twins H990 were in her womb.

28 H3205 [H8800] And it came to pass, when she travailed H5414 [H8799] , that the one put out H3027 his hand H3205 [H8764] : and the midwife H3947 [H8799] took H7194 [H8799] and bound H3027 upon his hand H8144 a scarlet thread H559 [H8800] , saying H3318 [H8804] , This came out H7223 first.

29 H7725 [H8688] And it came to pass, as he drew back H3027 his hand H251 , that, behold, his brother H3318 [H8804] came out H559 [H8799] : and she said H6555 [H8804] , How hast thou broken forth H6556 ? this breach H8034 be upon thee: therefore his name H7121 [H8799] was called H6557 Pharez.

30 H310 And afterwards H3318 [H8804] came out H251 his brother H8144 , that had the scarlet thread H3027 upon his hand H8034 : and his name H7121 [H8799] was called H2226 Zarah.
