NETBible

So she removed her widow’s clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah. (She did this because¹ she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.)²

NET Notes

¹tn The Hebrew text simply has “because,” connecting this sentence to what precedes. For stylistic reasons the words “she did this” are supplied in the translation and a new sentence begun.

²tn Heb “she saw that Shelah had grown up, but she was not given to him as a wife.”
