Genesis 38:1-30

And it came to pass at that time
<06256>_,

that Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8799)

from his brethren
<0251>_,

and turned
<05186> (8799)

in to a certain
<0376>

Adullamite
<05726>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Hirah
<02437>_.

And Judah
<03063>

saw
<07200> (8799)

there a daughter
<01323>

of a certain
<0376>

Canaanite
<03669>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Shuah
<07770>_;

and he took her
<03947> (8799)_,

and went in
<0935> (8799)

unto her.

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and he called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Er
<06147>_.

And she conceived
<02029> (8799)

again, and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and she called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Onan
<0209>_.

And she yet again conceived
<03254> (8686)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>_;

and called
<07121> (8799)

his name
<08034>

Shelah
<07956>_:

and he was at Chezib
<03580>_,

when she bare
<03205> (8800)

him.

And Judah
<03063>

took
<03947> (8799)

a wife
<0802>

for Er
<06147>

his firstborn
<01060>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Tamar
<08559>_.

And Er
<06147>_,

Judah's
<03063>

firstborn
<01060>_,

was wicked
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

slew
<04191> (8686)

him.

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Onan
<0209>_,

Go in
<0935> (8798)

unto thy brother's
<0251>

wife
<0802>_,

and marry
<02992> (8761)

her, and raise up
<06965> (8685)

seed
<02233>

to thy brother
<0251>_.

And Onan
<0209>

knew
<03045> (8799)

that the seed
<02233>

should not be his; and it came to pass, when
<0518>

he went in
<0935> (8802)

unto his brother's
<0251>

wife
<0802>_,

that he spilled
<07843> (8765)

[it] on the ground
<0776>_,

lest
<01115>

that he should give
<05414> (8800)

seed
<02233>

to his brother
<0251>_.

And the thing which
<0834>

he did
<06213> (8804)

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

the LORD
<03068>_:

wherefore he slew
<04191> (8686)

him also. {displeased...: Heb. was evil in the eyes of the Lord}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Judah
<03063>

to Tamar
<08559>

his daughter in law
<03618>_,

Remain
<03427> (8798)

a widow
<0490>

at thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

till Shelah
<07956>

my son
<01121>

be grown
<01431> (8799)_:

for he said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest peradventure he die
<04191> (8799)

also, as his brethren
<0251>

[did]. And Tamar
<08559>

went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in her father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

And in process
<07235> (8799)

of time
<03117>

the daughter
<01323>

of Shuah
<07770>

Judah's
<03063>

wife
<0802>

died
<04191> (8799)_;

and Judah
<03063>

was comforted
<05162> (8735)_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

unto his sheepshearers
<01494> (8802) <06629>

to Timnath
<08553>_,

he and his friend
<07453>

Hirah
<02437>

the Adullamite
<05726>_.

{in process...: Heb. the days were multiplied}

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Tamar
<08559>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold thy father in law
<02524>

goeth up
<05927> (8802)

to Timnath
<08553>

to shear
<01494> (8800)

his sheep
<06629>_.

And she put
<05493> (0)

her widow's
<0491>

garments
<0899>

off
<05493> (8686)

from her, and covered her
<03680> (8762)

with a vail
<06809>_,

and wrapped herself
<05968> (8691)_,

and sat in
<03427> (8799)

an open
<05869>

place
<06607>_,

which [is] by the way
<01870>

to Timnath
<08553>_;

for she saw
<07200> (8804)

that Shelah
<07956>

was grown
<01431> (8804)_,

and she was not given
<05414> (8738)

unto him to wife
<0802>_.

{an open...: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}

When Judah
<03063>

saw her
<07200> (8799)_,

he thought
<02803> (8799)

her [to be] an harlot
<02181> (8802)_;

because she had covered
<03680> (8765)

her face
<06440>_.

And he turned
<05186> (8799)

unto her by the way
<01870>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go to
<03051> (8798)_,

I pray thee, let me come in
<0935> (8799)

unto thee; (for he knew
<03045> (8804)

not that she [was] his daughter in law
<03618>.)

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

What wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

me, that thou mayest come in
<0935> (8799)

unto me?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will send
<07971> (8762)

[thee] a kid
<05795> <01423>

from the flock
<06629>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

[me] a pledge
<06162>_,

till thou send
<07971> (8800)

[it]? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What
<0834>

pledge
<06162>

shall I give
<05414> (8799)

thee? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy signet
<02368>_,

and thy bracelets
<06616>_,

and thy staff
<04294>

that [is] in thine hand
<03027>_.

And he gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] her, and came in
<0935> (8799)

unto her, and she conceived
<02029> (8799)

by him.

And she arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went away
<03212> (8799)_,

and laid by
<05493> (8686)

her vail
<06809>

from her, and put on
<03847> (8799)

the garments
<0899>

of her widowhood
<0491>_.

And Judah
<03063>

sent
<07971> (8799)

the kid
<01423> <05795>

by the hand
<03027>

of his friend
<07453>

the Adullamite
<05726>_,

to receive
<03947> (8800)

[his] pledge
<06162>

from the woman's
<0802>

hand
<03027>_:

but he found her
<04672> (8804)

not.

Then he asked
<07592> (8799)

the men
<0582>

of that place
<04725>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Where [is] the harlot
<06948>_,

that [was] openly
<05869>

by the way side
<01870>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

There was no harlot
<06948>

in this
<02088>

[place]. {openly: or, in Enajim}

And he returned
<07725> (8799)

to Judah
<03063>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I cannot
<03808>

find
<04672> (8804)

her; and also the men
<0582>

of the place
<04725>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

[that] there was no harlot
<06948>

in this [place].

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let her take
<03947> (8799)

[it] to her, lest we be shamed
<0937>_:

behold, I sent
<07971> (8804)

this kid
<01423>_,

and thou hast not found
<04672> (8804)

her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}

And it came to pass about three
<07969>

months
<02320>

after, that it was told
<05046> (8714)

Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Tamar
<08559>

thy daughter in law
<03618>

hath played the harlot
<02181> (8804)_;

and also, behold, she [is] with child
<02030>

by whoredom
<02183>_.

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring her forth
<03318> (8685)_,

and let her be burnt
<08313> (8735)_.

When she [was] brought forth
<03318> (8716)_,

she sent
<07971> (8804)

to her father in law
<02524>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

By the man
<0376>_,

whose these [are, am] I with child
<02030>_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Discern
<05234> (8685)_,

I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet
<02858>_,

and bracelets
<06616>_,

and staff
<04294>_.

And Judah
<03063>

acknowledged
<05234> (8686)

[them], and said
<0559> (8799)_,

She hath been more righteous
<06663> (8804)

than I; because that I gave
<05414> (8804)

her not to Shelah
<07956>

my son
<01121>_.

And he knew her
<03045> (8800)

again
<03254> (8804)

no more.

And it came to pass in the time
<06256>

of her travail
<03205> (8800)_,

that, behold, twins
<08380>

[were] in her womb
<0990>_.

And it came to pass, when she travailed
<03205> (8800)_,

that [the one] put out
<05414> (8799)

[his] hand
<03027>_:

and the midwife
<03205> (8764)

took
<03947> (8799)

and bound
<07194> (8799)

upon his hand
<03027>

a scarlet thread
<08144>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This came out
<03318> (8804)

first
<07223>_.

And it came to pass, as he drew back
<07725> (8688)

his hand
<03027>_,

that, behold, his brother
<0251>

came out
<03318> (8804)_:

and she said
<0559> (8799)_,

How hast thou broken forth
<06555> (8804)_?

[this] breach
<06556>

[be] upon thee: therefore his name
<08034>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Pharez
<06557>_.

{How hast...: or, Wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?} {Pharez: that is A breach}

And afterward
<0310>

came out
<03318> (8804)

his brother
<0251>_,

that had the scarlet thread
<08144>

upon his hand
<03027>_:

and his name
<08034>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Zarah
<02226>_.
