38:24 After three months Judah was told, 1 “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has turned to prostitution, 2 and as a result she has become pregnant.” 3 Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!” 38:25 While they were bringing her out, she sent word 4 to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man to whom these belong.” 5 Then she said, “Identify 6 the one to whom the seal, cord, and staff belong.” 38:26 Judah recognized them and said, “She is more upright 7 than I am, because I wouldn’t give her to Shelah my son.” He did not have sexual relations with her 8 again.
