Genesi 38:20 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 38:20

And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
Adullamite
Who went with him to Timnath, and was privy to all this wickedness, and kept the secret; but would have acted the more friendly and faithful part had he dissuaded him from it: him he employed to carry the kid he had promised, and not any of his servants, for the greater secrecy: and to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand;
his signet, bracelets, and staff, or whatever they were: but he found her not;
she was gone from the place where she sat, or where she retired to with Judah.

Genesi 38:20 In-Context

18 Ed egli: "Che pegno ti darò?" E l’altra rispose: "Il tuo sigillo, il tuo cordone e il bastone che hai in mano". Egli glieli dette, andò da lei, ed ella rimase incinta di lui.
19 Poi ella si levò, e se ne andò; si tolse il velo, e si rimise le vesti da vedova.
20 E Giuda mandò il capretto per mezzo del suo amico, l’Adullamita, affin di ritirare il pegno di man di quella donna; ma egli non la trovò.
21 Interrogò la gente del luogo, dicendo: "Dov’è quella meretrice che stava a Enaim, sulla via?" E quelli risposero: "Qui non c’è stata alcuna meretrice".
22 Ed egli se ne tornò a Giuda, e gli disse: "Non l’ho trovata; e, per di più, la gente del luogo m’ha detto: Qui non c’è stata alcuna meretrice".
