She said, What will you give me, that you may come in to me? 17 He said, I will send you a young goat from the flock. She said, Will you give me a pledge, till you send it? 18 He said, What pledge shall I give you? She replied, Your signet, your bracelets, and your staff that is in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him. 19 Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil, she put on her widow’s garments again. 20 Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman’s hand, but he could not find her. 21 He asked the men of the place, Where is the prostitute who was by the roadside? They said, There has been no prostitute here. 22 So he returned to Judah and said, I could not find her; and the men of the place said there has been no prostitute there. 23 Judah said, Let her keep them, lest we become a laughingstock; after all, I sent the young goat, and you did not find her. 24 About three months later, it was told Judah, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; moreover, she is pregnant by harlotry.

And he never knew her again. 27 When the time came for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb. 28 As she was giving birth, one put out his hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread to his hand, saying, This one came out first. 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. She said, How have you broken through? This breach is upon you. Therefore he was named Perez. 30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and he was named Zerah.
