Genesis 38:19-23

38:19

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>_.

38:20

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.

38:21

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}

38:22

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].

38:23

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}
