    14 She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.

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

    17 And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

    18 And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.

    19 Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing.
