Genesis 38:14-23

And she put
<05493> (0)

her widow's
<0491>

garments
<0899>

off
<05493> (8686)

from her, and covered her
<03680> (8762)

with a vail
<06809>_,

and wrapped herself
<05968> (8691)_,

and sat in
<03427> (8799)

an open
<05869>

place
<06607>_,

which [is] by the way
<01870>

to Timnath
<08553>_;

for she saw
<07200> (8804)

that Shelah
<07956>

was grown
<01431> (8804)_,

and she was not given
<05414> (8738)

unto him to wife
<0802>_.

{an open...: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}

When Judah
<03063>

saw her
<07200> (8799)_,

he thought
<02803> (8799)

her [to be] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_;

because she had covered
<03680> (8765)

her face
<06440>_.

And he turned
<05186> (8799)

unto her by the way
<01870>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

I pray thee, let me come in
<0935> (8799)

unto thee; (for he knew
<03045> (8804)

not that she [was] his daughter in law
<03618>.)

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

What wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

me, that thou mayest come in
<0935> (8799)

unto me?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will send
<07971> (8762)

[thee] a kid
<05795> <01423>

from the flock
<06629>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

[me] a pledge
<06162>_,

till thou send
<07971> (8800)

[it]? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What
<0834>

pledge
<06162>

shall I give
<05414> (8799)

thee? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy signet
<02368>_,

and thy bracelets
<06616>_,

and thy staff
<04294>

that [is] in thine hand
<03027>_.

And he gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] her, and came in
<0935> (8799)

unto her, and she conceived
<02029> (8799)

by him.

And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)_,

and laid by
<05493> (8686)

her vail
<06809>

from her, and put on
<03847> (8799)

the garments
<0899>

of her widowhood
<0491>_.

And Judah
<03063>

sent
<07971> (8799)

the kid
<01423> <05795>

by the hand
<03027>

of his friend
<07453>

the Adullamite
<05726>_,

to receive
<03947> (8800)

[his] pledge
<06162>

from the woman's
<0802>

hand
<03027>_:

but he found her
<04672> (8804)

not.

Then he asked
<07592> (8799)

the men
<0582>

of that place
<04725>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Where [is] the harlot
<06948>_,

that [was] openly
<05869>

by the way side
<01870>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

There was no harlot
<06948>

in this
<02088>

[place]. {openly: or, in Enajim}

And he returned
<07725> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I cannot
<03808>

find
<04672> (8804)

her; and also the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

[that] there was no harlot
<06948>

in this [place].

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let her take
<03947> (8799)

[it] to her, lest we be shamed
<0937>_:

behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)

this kid
<01423>_,

and thou hast not found
<04672> (8804)

her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}
