Gênesis 38:21 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 38:21

Then he asked the men of that place
Or "of her place" {d}, of the woman's place, supposing that she dwelt somewhere thereabout: saying, where [is] the harlot that [was] openly by the wayside?
that sat there very publicly some little time ago: the word for "harlot" F5 comes from another, which signifies to sanctify or separate to holy uses; and harlots were so called, either by an antiphrasis, by way of contradiction, being unholy; or because, as Jarchi observes, they were separated and destined to whoredom; or because they were such as were devoted to Venus, and the worshippers of her, and prostitutes in her temple, and in the temples of other Heathen deities; but it is questionable whether such practices as yet were used; and they said, there was no harlot in this [place];
they had not known any harlot to frequent that place lately, and Tamar sat there so small a time as not to have been observed by them.

Gênesis 38:21 In-Context

19 E ela se levantou e se foi; tirou de si o véu e vestiu os vestidos da sua viuvez.
20 Depois Judá enviou o cabrito por mão do seu amigo o adulamita, para receber o penhor da mão da mulher; porém ele não a encontrou.
21 Pelo que perguntou aos homens daquele lugar: Onde está a prostituta que estava em Enaim junto ao caminho? E disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta alguma.
22 Voltou, pois, a Judá e disse: Não a achei; e também os homens daquele lugar disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta alguma.
23 Então disse Judá: Deixa-a ficar com o penhor, para que não caiamos em desprezo; eis que enviei este cabrito, mas tu não a achaste.
