  • Gen 38:13-30 : 13 When Tamar was told, 'Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,' 14 So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil, wrapped herself up, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. She saw that Shelah had grown up, but she had not been given to him as a wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, because she had covered her face. 16 He turned aside to her by the roadside and said, 'Come now, let me sleep with you.' He did not know she was his daughter-in-law. She asked, 'What will you give me to sleep with you?' 17 He replied, 'I will send you a young goat from my flock.' She said, 'Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?' 18 He asked, 'What pledge should I give you?' She answered, 'Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand.' So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she got up and left, took off her veil, and put back on her widow's garments. 20 Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite to retrieve the pledge from the woman, but he could not find her. 21 He asked the men of the place, 'Where is the prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?' They replied, 'There has been no prostitute here.' 22 So he returned to Judah and said, 'I couldn’t find her. Furthermore, the men of the place said, "There has been no prostitute here."' 23 Judah said, 'Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.' 24 About three months later, Judah was told, 'Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant as a result.' Judah said, 'Bring her out and let her be burned!' 25 As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, 'I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.' And she added, 'Please examine them. Whose seal, cord, and staff are these?' 26 Judah recognized them and said, 'She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.' And he did not have relations with her again. 27 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb. 28 As she was giving birth, one of them extended his hand, and the midwife tied a scarlet thread around it, saying, 'This one came out first.' 29 But then he pulled his hand back, and his brother came out. She said, 'What a breach you have made for yourself!' So he was named Perez. 30 Afterward, his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and he was named Zerah.
