Genesis 38:21-30

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}

And it came to pass about three
<07969>

months
<02320>

after, that it was told
<05046> (8714)

Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Tamar
<08559>

thy daughter in law
<03618>

hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_;

and also, behold, she [is] with child
<02030>

by whoredom
<02183>_.

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring her forth
<03318> (8685)_,

and let her be burnt
<08313> (8735)_.

When she [was] brought forth
<03318> (8716)_,

she sent
<07971> (8804)

to her father in law
<02524>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

By the man
<0376>_,

whose these [are, am] I with child
<02030>_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Discern
<05234> (8685)_,

I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet
<02858>_,

and bracelets
<06616>_,

and staff
<04294>_.

And Judah
<03063>

acknowledged
<05234> (8686)

[them], and said
<0559> (8799)_,

She hath been more righteous
<06663> (8804)

than I; because that I gave
<05414> (8804)

her not to Shelah
<07956>

my son
<01121>_.

And he knew her
<03045> (8800)

again
<03254> (8804)

no more.

And it came to pass in the time
<06256>

of her travail
<03205> (8800)_,

that, behold, twins
<08380>

[were] in her womb
<0990>_.

And it came to pass, when she travailed
<03205> (8800)_,

that [the one] put out
<05414> (8799)

[his] hand
<03027>_:

and the midwife
<03205> (8764)

took
<03947> (8799)

and bound
<07194> (8799)

upon his hand
<03027>

a scarlet thread
<08144>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This came out
<03318> (8804)

first
<07223>_.

And it came to pass, as he drew back
<07725> (8688)

his hand
<03027>_,

that, behold, his brother
<0251>

came out
<03318> (8804)_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

How hast thou broken forth
<06555> (8804)_?

[this] breach
<06556>

[be] upon thee: therefore his name
<08034>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Pharez
<06557>_.

{How hast...: or, Wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?} {Pharez: that is A breach}

And afterward
<0310>

came out
<03318> (8804)

his brother
<0251>_,

that had the scarlet thread
<08144>

upon his hand
<03027>_:

and his name
<08034>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Zarah
<02226>_.
