Tamar was told, ¹  “Look, your father-in-law is going up ²  to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until Shelah my son grows up.” For he thought, ¹  “I don’t want him to die like his brothers.” ²  So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
