14
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Aenan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
15
And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
16
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
17
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, , if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
18
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
20
And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
21
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Aenan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
22
And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
23
And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
24
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
