Genesis 38:16

Context
38:16 He turned aside to her along the road and said, “Come on! I want to have sex with you.” 1  (He did not realize 2  it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked, “What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?” 3 

1 tn Heb “I will go to you.” The imperfect verbal form probably indicates his desire here. The expression “go to” is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.

2 tn Heb “for he did not know that.”

3 tn Heb “when you come to me.” This expression is a euphemism for sexual intercourse.
