    13 It was told Tamar, saying, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep."

    14 She took off of her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn't given to him as a wife.

    15 When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face.

    22 He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"

    23 Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven't found her."

    24 It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."
