from his grief, he went up to Timnah, to the men who were shearing his sheep, and his
friend Hirah the Adullamite went with him. When Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law
is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,” she took off her widow’s clothes,
covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to

grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife. When Judah

with you.”
"And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked. "I’ll send you a young goat
from my flock,” he said. "Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?” she
asked. He said, "What pledge should I give you?” "Your seal and its cord, and the staff
in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became
pregnant by him. After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes
again. Meanwhile Judah
his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her. He asked the men who lived
there, "Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim? "There hasn’t
been any shrine prostitute here,” they said. ”
Here is Judah Judah
