38:1 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down
from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose
name [was] Hirah.
38:2 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,
whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
38:3 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his
name Er.
38:4 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called
his name Onan.
38:5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called
his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
38:6 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name
[was] Tamar.
38:7 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of
the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
38:8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife,
and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it
came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he
spilled [it] on the ground, lest that he should give seed to
his brother.
38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD:
wherefore he slew him also.
38:11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a
widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for
he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren [did].
And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
38:12 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's
wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his
sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the
Adullamite.
38:13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law
goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
38:14 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and
covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an
open place, which [is] by the way to Timnath; for she saw that
Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot;
because she had covered her face.
38:16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I
pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she
[was] his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give
me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
38:17 And he said, I will send [thee] a kid from the flock.
And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou send
[it]?
38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she
said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in
thine hand. And he gave [it] her, and came in unto her, and she
conceived by him.
38:19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from
her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
38:20 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but
he found her not.
38:21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is]
the harlot, that [was] openly by the way side? And they said,
There was no harlot in this [place].
38:22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her;
and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot
in this [place].
38:23 And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be
shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
38:24 And it came to pass about three months after, that it
was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played
the harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom.
And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
38:25 When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father in
law, saying, By the man, whose these [are, am] I with child:
and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the
signet, and bracelets, and staff.
38:26 And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She hath been
more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my
son. And he knew her again no more.
38:27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,
behold, twins [were] in her womb.
38:28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one]
put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his
hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
38:29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that,
behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou
broken forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name
was called Pharez.
38:30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the
scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
