    13 And when Tamar had news that her father-in-law was going up to Timnah to the wool-cutting,

    15 When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

    16 And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?

    21 And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.

    22 So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.
