V.1 And it came to pass at that time, 6256 that Judah 3063 went down 3381-4 from his brethren, 251 and turned 5186-4 in to a certain 376 Adullamite, 5726 whose name 8034 [was] Hirah. 2437

38:2 And Judah 3063 saw 7200-4 there a daughter 1323 of a certain 376 Canaanite, 3669 whose name 8034 [was] Shuah; 7770 and he took 3947-4 her, and went in 935-4 unto her.

38:3 And she conceived, 2029-4 and bare 3205-4 a son; 1121 and he called 7121-4 his name 8034 Er. 6147

38:4 And she conceived 2029-4 again, and bare 3205-4 a son; 1121 and she called 7121-4 his name 8034 Onan. 209

38:5 And she yet again conceived, 3254-55 and bare 3205-4 a son; 1121 and called 7121-4 his name 8034 Shelah: 7956 and he was at Chezib, 3580 when she bare 3205-2 him.

38:6 And Judah 3063 took 3947-4 a wife 802 for Er 6147 his firstborn, 1060 whose name 8034 [was] Tamar. 8559

38:7 And Er, 6147 Judah's 3063 firstborn, 1060 was wicked 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD; 3068 and the LORD 3068 slew 4191-55 him.

38:8 And Judah 3063 said 559-4 unto Onan, 209 Go in 935-3 unto thy brother's 251 wife, 802 and marry 2992-16 her, and raise up 6965-54 seed 2233 to thy brother. 251

38:9 And Onan 209 knew 3045-4 that the seed 2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, when 518 he went in 935-6 unto his brother's 251 wife, 802 that he spilled 7843-14 [it] on the ground, 776 lest 1115 that he should give 5414-2 seed 2233 to his brother. 251

38:10 And the thing which 834 he did 6213-1 displeased 3415-4 5869 the LORD: 3068 wherefore he slew 4191-55 him also.

38:11 Then said 559-4 Judah 3063 to Tamar 8559 his daughter in law, 3618 Remain 3427-3 a widow 490 at thy father's 1 house, 1004 till Shelah 7956 my son 1121 be grown: 1431-4 for he said, 559-1 Lest peradventure he die 4191-4 also, as his brethren 251 [did]. And Tamar 8559 went 3212-4 and dwelt 3427-4 in her father's 1 house. 1004

38:12 And in process 7235-4 of time 3117 the daughter of Shuah 1323|7770|1340 Judah's 3063 wife 802 died; 4191-4 and Judah 3063 was comforted, 5162-11 and went up 5927-4 unto his sheepshearers 1494-6 6629 to Timnath, 8553 he and his friend 7453 Hirah 2437 the Adullamite. 5726

38:13 And it was told 5046-93 Tamar, 8559 saying, 559-2 Behold thy father in law 2524 goeth up 5927-6 to Timnath 8553 to shear 1494-2 his sheep. 6629

38:14 And she put her widow's 491 garments 899 off 5493-55 from her, and covered 3680-17 her with a vail, 6809 and wrapped 5968-101 herself, and sat 3427-4 in an open 5869 place, 6607 which [is] by the way 1870 to Timnath; 8553 for she saw 7200-1 that Shelah 7956 was grown, 1431-1 and she was not given 5414-8 unto him to wife. 802

38:15 When Judah 3063 saw 7200-4 her, he thought 2803-4 her [to be] an harlot; 2181-6 because she had covered 3680-14 her face. 6440

38:16 And he turned 5186-4 unto her by the way, 1870 and said, 559-4 Go to, 3051-3 I pray thee, let me come in 935-4 unto thee; (for he knew 3045-1 not that she [was] his daughter in law.) 3618 And she said, 559-4 What wilt thou give 5414-4 me, that thou mayest come in 935-4 unto me?

38:17 And he said, 559-4 I will send 7971-17 [thee] a kid 5795 1423 from the flock. 6629 And she said, 559-4 Wilt thou give 5414-4 [me] a pledge, 6162 till thou send 7971-2 [it]?

38:18 And he said, 559-4 What 834 pledge 6162 shall I give 5414-4 thee? And she said, 559-4 Thy signet, 2368 and thy bracelets, 6616 and thy staff 4294 that [is] in thine hand. 3027 And he gave 5414-4 [it] her, and came in 935-4 unto her, and she conceived 2029-4 by him.

38:19 And she arose, 6965-4 and went away, 3212-4 and laid by 5493-55 her vail 6809 from her, and put on 3847-4 the garments 899 of her widowhood. 491

38:20 And Judah 3063 sent 7971-4 the kid 1423 5795 by the hand 3027 of his friend 7453 the Adullamite, 5726 to receive 3947-2 [his] pledge 6162 from the woman's 802 hand: 3027 but he found 4672-1 her not.

38:21 Then he asked 7592-4 the men 582 of that place, 4725 saying, 559-2 Where [is] the harlot, 6948 that [was] openly 5869 by the way side? 1870 And they said, 559-4 There was no harlot 6948 in this 2088 [place].

38:22 And he returned 7725-4 to Judah, 3063 and said, 559-4 I cannot 3808 find 4672-1 her; and also the men 582 of the place 4725 said, 559-1 [that] there was no harlot 6948 in this [place].

38:23 And Judah 3063 said, 559-4 Let her take 3947-4 [it] to her, lest we be shamed: 937 behold, I sent 7971-1 this kid, 1423 and thou hast not found 4672-1 her.

38:24 And it came to pass about three 7969 months 2320 after, that it was told 5046-93 Judah, 3063 saying, 559-2 Tamar 8559 thy daughter in law 3618 hath played the harlot; 2181-1 and also, behold, she [is] with child 2030 by whoredom. 2183 And Judah 3063 said, 559-4 Bring her forth, 3318-54 and let her be burnt. 8313-11

38:25 When she [was] brought forth, 3318-94 she sent 7971-1 to her father in law, 2524 saying, 559-2 By the man, 376 whose these [are, am] I with child: 2030 and she said, 559-4 Discern, 5234-54 I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet, 2858 and bracelets, 6616 and staff. 4294

38:26 And Judah 3063 acknowledged 5234-55 [them], and said, 559-4 She hath been more righteous 6663-1 than I; because that I gave 5414-1 her not to Shelah 7956 my son. 1121 And he knew her 3045-2 again 3254-1 no more.

38:27 And it came to pass in the time 6256 of her travail, 3205-2 that, behold, twins 8380 [were] in her womb. 990

38:28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, 3205-2 that [the one] put 5414-4 out [his] hand: 3027 and the midwife 3205-18 took 3947-4 and bound 7194-4 upon his hand 3027 a scarlet thread, 8144 saying, 559-2 This came out 3318-1 first. 7223

38:29 And it came to pass, as he drew back 7725-56 his hand, 3027 that, behold, his brother 251 came out: 3318-1 and she said, 559-4 How hast thou broken forth? 6555-1 [this] breach 6556 [be] upon thee: therefore his name 8034 was called 7121- 4 Pharez. 6557
