    25When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these-- the signet, and the cords, and the staff."

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

    14She 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.

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

    16He turned to her by the way, and said, "Please come, let me come in to you:" for he didn't know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

    17He said, "I will send you a kid of the goats from the flock." She said, "Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?"

    18He said, "What pledge will I give you?" She said, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him.

    19She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

    20Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her.
