Genesis 38

KJV

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at that¹⁹³¹ time,⁶²⁵⁶ that Judah³⁰⁶³ went down³³⁸¹ from^{4480 854} his brethren,²⁵¹ and turned in⁵¹⁸⁶ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ a certain³⁷⁶ Adullamite,⁵⁷²⁶ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Hirah.²⁴³⁷

2  And Judah³⁰⁶³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ there⁸⁰³³ a daughter¹³²³ of a certain³⁷⁶ Canaanite,³⁶⁶⁹ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Shuah;⁷⁷⁷⁰ and he took³⁹⁴⁷ her, and went in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her.

3  And she conceived,²⁰²⁹ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and he called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Er.⁶¹⁴⁷

4  And she conceived²⁰²⁹ again,⁵⁷⁵⁰ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and she called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Onan.²⁰⁹

5  And she yet again⁵⁷⁵⁰ conceived,³²⁵⁴ and bore³²⁰⁵ a son;¹¹²¹ and called^{7121 853} his name⁸⁰³⁴ Shelah:⁷⁹⁵⁶ and he was¹⁹⁶¹ at Chezib,³⁵⁸⁰ when she bore³²⁰⁵ him.

6  And Judah³⁰⁶³ took³⁹⁴⁷ a wife⁸⁰² for Er⁶¹⁴⁷ his firstborn,¹⁰⁶⁰ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ was Tamar.⁸⁵⁵⁹

7  And Er,⁶¹⁴⁷ Judah's³⁰⁶³ firstborn,¹⁰⁶⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ wicked⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ slew⁴¹⁹¹ him.

8  And Judah³⁰⁶³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Onan,²⁰⁹ Go in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thy brother's²⁵¹ wife,⁸⁰² and marry²⁹⁹² her, and raise up⁶⁹⁶⁵ seed²²³³ to thy brother.²⁵¹

9  And Onan²⁰⁹ knew³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the seed²²³³ should not³⁸⁰⁸ be¹⁹⁶¹ his; and it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁵¹⁸ he went in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ his brother's²⁵¹ wife,⁸⁰² that he spilled⁷⁸⁴³ it on the ground,⁷⁷⁶ lest¹¹¹⁵ that he should give⁵⁴¹⁴ seed²²³³ to his brother.²⁵¹

10  And the thing which⁸³⁴ he did⁶²¹³ displeased^{7489 5869} the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ wherefore he slew⁴¹⁹¹ him also.¹⁵⁷¹

11  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Judah³⁰⁶³ to Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ his daughter-in-law,³⁶¹⁸ Remain³⁴²⁷ a widow⁴⁹⁰ at thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ till⁵⁷⁰⁴ Shelah⁷⁹⁵⁶ my son¹¹²¹ be grown:¹⁴³¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ he said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest peradventure⁶⁴³⁵ he¹⁹³¹ die⁴¹⁹¹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ as his brethren²⁵¹ did. And Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ in her father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

12  And in process of time^{7235 3117} the daughter¹³²³ of Shuah⁷⁷⁷⁰ Judah's³⁰⁶³ wife⁸⁰² died;⁴¹⁹¹ and Judah³⁰⁶³ was comforted,⁵¹⁶² and went up⁵⁹²⁷ unto⁵⁹²¹ his sheepshearers^{1494 6629} to Timnath,⁸⁵⁵³ he¹⁹³¹ and his friend⁷⁴⁵³ Hirah²⁴³⁷ the Adullamite.⁵⁷²⁶

13  And it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Tamar,⁸⁵⁵⁹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Behold²⁰⁰⁹ thy father-in-law²⁵²⁴ goeth up⁵⁹²⁷ to Timnath⁸⁵⁵³ to shear¹⁴⁹⁴ his sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

14  And she put⁵⁴⁹³ her widow's⁴⁹¹ garments⁸⁹⁹ off from^{4480 5921} her, and covered³⁶⁸⁰ her with a veil,⁶⁸⁰⁹ and wrapped herself,⁵⁹⁶⁸ and sat³⁴²⁷ in an open⁵⁸⁷⁹ place,⁶⁶⁰⁷ which⁸³⁴ is by⁵⁹²¹ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ to Timnath;⁸⁵⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ she saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ Shelah⁷⁹⁵⁶ was grown,¹⁴³¹ and she¹⁹³¹ was not³⁸⁰⁸ given⁵⁴¹⁴ unto him to wife.⁸⁰²

15  When Judah³⁰⁶³ saw⁷²⁰⁰ her, he thought²⁸⁰³ her to be a harlot;²¹⁸¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ she had covered³⁶⁸⁰ her face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

16  And he turned⁵¹⁸⁶ unto⁴¹³ her by⁴¹³ the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Go to,³⁰⁵¹ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ let me come in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ thee; (for³⁵⁸⁸ he knew³⁰⁴⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ she¹⁹³¹ was his daughter-in-law.)³⁶¹⁸ And she said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ wilt thou give⁵⁴¹⁴ me, that³⁵⁸⁸ thou mayest come in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ me?

17  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ will send⁷⁹⁷¹ thee a kid^{1423 5795} from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the flock.⁶⁶²⁹ And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Wilt thou give⁵⁴¹⁴ me a pledge,⁶¹⁶² till⁵⁷⁰⁴ thou send⁷⁹⁷¹ it?

18  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ pledge⁶¹⁶² shall I give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee? And she said,⁵⁵⁹ Thy signet,²³⁶⁸ and thy bracelets,⁶⁶¹⁶ and thy staff⁴²⁹⁴ that⁸³⁴ is in thine hand.³⁰²⁷ And he gave⁵⁴¹⁴ it her, and came in⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ her, and she conceived²⁰²⁹ by him.

19  And she arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went away,¹⁹⁸⁰ and laid by⁵⁴⁹³ her veil⁶⁸⁰⁹ from^{4480 5921} her, and put on³⁸⁴⁷ the garments⁸⁹⁹ of her widowhood.⁴⁹¹

20  And Judah³⁰⁶³ sent^{7971 853} the kid^{1423 5795} by the hand³⁰²⁷ of his friend⁷⁴⁵³ the Adullamite,⁵⁷²⁶ to receive³⁹⁴⁷ his pledge⁶¹⁶² from the woman's⁸⁰² hand:^{4480 3027} but he found⁴⁶⁷² her not.³⁸⁰⁸

21  Then he asked^{7592 853} the men³⁷⁶ of that place,⁴⁷²⁵ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Where³⁴⁶ is the harlot,⁶⁹⁴⁸ that¹⁹³¹ was openly⁵⁸⁷⁹ by⁵⁹²¹ the way side?¹⁸⁷⁰ And they said,⁵⁵⁹ There was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ harlot⁶⁹⁴⁸ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.

22  And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Judah,³⁰⁶³ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I cannot³⁸⁰⁸ find⁴⁶⁷² her; and also¹⁵⁷¹ the men³⁷⁶ of the place⁴⁷²⁵ said,⁵⁵⁹ that there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ harlot⁶⁹⁴⁸ in this²⁰⁸⁸ place.

23  And Judah³⁰⁶³ said,⁵⁵⁹ Let her take³⁹⁴⁷ it to her, lest⁶⁴³⁵ we be¹⁹⁶¹ shamed:⁹³⁷ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I sent⁷⁹⁷¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ kid,¹⁴²³ and thou⁸⁵⁹ hast not³⁸⁰⁸ found⁴⁶⁷² her.

24  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ about three^{4480 7969} months²³²⁰ after, that it was told⁵⁰⁴⁶ Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Tamar⁸⁵⁵⁹ thy daughter-in-law³⁶¹⁸ hath played the harlot;²¹⁸¹ and also,¹⁵⁷¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ she is with child²⁰³⁰ by whoredom.²¹⁸³ And Judah³⁰⁶³ said,⁵⁵⁹ Bring her forth,³³¹⁸ and let her be burnt.⁸³¹³

25  When she¹⁹³¹ was brought forth,³³¹⁸ she¹⁹³¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ her father-in-law,²⁵²⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ By the man,³⁷⁶ whose⁸³⁴ these⁴²⁸ are, am I⁵⁹⁵ with child:²⁰³⁰ and she said,⁵⁵⁹ Discern,⁵²³⁴ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ whose⁴³¹⁰ are these,⁴²⁸ the signet,²⁸⁵⁸ and bracelets,⁶⁶¹⁶ and staff.⁴²⁹⁴

26  And Judah³⁰⁶³ acknowledged⁵²³⁴ them, and said,⁵⁵⁹ She hath been more righteous⁶⁶⁶³ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ I; because³⁵⁸⁸ that^{5921 3651} I gave⁵⁴¹⁴ her not³⁸⁰⁸ to Shelah⁷⁹⁵⁶ my son.¹¹²¹ And he knew³⁰⁴⁵ her again³²⁵⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ more.⁵⁷⁵⁰

27  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the time⁶²⁵⁶ of her travail,³²⁰⁵ that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ twins⁸³⁸⁰ were in her womb.⁹⁹⁰

28  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when she travailed,³²⁰⁵ that the one put out⁵⁴¹⁴ his hand:³⁰²⁷ and the midwife³²⁰⁵ took³⁹⁴⁷ and bound⁷¹⁹⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ his hand³⁰²⁷ a scarlet thread,⁸¹⁴⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁸⁸ came out³³¹⁸ first.⁷²²³

29  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as he drew back⁷⁷²⁵ his hand,³⁰²⁷ that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ his brother²⁵¹ came out:³³¹⁸ and she said,⁵⁵⁹ How⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou broken forth?⁶⁵⁵⁵ this breach⁶⁵⁵⁶ be upon⁵⁹²¹ thee: therefore his name⁸⁰³⁴ was called⁷¹²¹ Pharez.⁶⁵⁵⁷

30  And afterward³¹⁰ came out³³¹⁸ his brother,²⁵¹ that⁸³⁴ had the scarlet thread⁸¹⁴⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ his hand:³⁰²⁷ and his name⁸⁰³⁴ was called⁷¹²¹ Zarah.²²²⁶

1 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ κατέβη Ιουδας ἀπὸ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀφίκετο ἕως πρὸς ἄνθρωπόν τινα Οδολλαμίτην ᾧ ὄνομα Ιρας

2 καὶ εἶδεν ἐκεῖ Ιουδας θυγατέρα ἀνθρώπου Χαναναίου ᾗ ὄνομα Σαυα καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν

3 καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ηρ

4 καὶ συλλαβοῦσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Αυναν

5 καὶ προσθεῖσα ἔτι ἔτεκεν υἱὸν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σηλωμ αὐτὴ δὲ ἦν ἐν Χασβι ἡνίκα ἔτεκεν αὐτούς

6 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ιουδας γυναῖκα Ηρ τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ ᾗ ὄνομα Θαμαρ

7 ἐγένετο δὲ Ηρ πρωτότοκος Ιουδα πονηρὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός

8 εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας τῷ Αυναν εἴσελθε πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου καὶ γάμβρευσαι αὐτὴν καὶ ἀνάστησον σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου

9 γνοὺς δὲ Αυναν ὅτι οὐκ αὐτῷ ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα ἐγίνετο ὅταν εἰσήρχετο πρὸς τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐξέχεεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ μὴ δοῦναι σπέρμα τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ

10 πονηρὸν δὲ ἐφάνη ἐναντίον τοῦ θεοῦ ὅτι ἐποίησεν τοῦτο καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν καὶ τοῦτον

11 εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας Θαμαρ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ κάθου χήρα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρός σου ἕως μέγας γένηται Σηλωμ ὁ υἱός μου εἶπεν γάρ μήποτε ἀποθάνῃ καὶ οὗτος ὥσπερ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπελθοῦσα δὲ Θαμαρ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῆς

12 ἐπληθύνθησαν δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ ἀπέθανεν Σαυα ἡ γυνὴ Ιουδα καὶ παρακληθεὶς Ιουδας ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τοὺς κείροντας τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς καὶ Ιρας ὁ ποιμὴν αὐτοῦ ὁ Οδολλαμίτης εἰς Θαμνα

13 καὶ ἀπηγγέλη Θαμαρ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ὁ πενθερός σου ἀναβαίνει εἰς Θαμνα κεῖραι τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ

14 καὶ περιελομένη τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς χηρεύσεως ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς περιεβάλετο θέριστρον καὶ ἐκαλλωπίσατο καὶ ἐκάθισεν πρὸς ταῖς πύλαις Αιναν ἥ ἐστιν ἐν παρόδῳ Θαμνα εἶδεν γὰρ ὅτι μέγας γέγονεν Σηλωμ αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ γυναῖκα

15 καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὴν Ιουδας ἔδοξεν αὐτὴν πόρνην εἶναι κατεκαλύψατο γὰρ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνω αὐτήν

16 ἐξέκλινεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὴν τὴν ὁδὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἔασόν με εἰσελθεῖν πρὸς σέ οὐ γὰρ ἔγνω ὅτι ἡ νύμφη αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τί μοι δώσεις ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς πρός με

17 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ἐγώ σοι ἀποστελῶ ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἐκ τῶν προβάτων ἡ δὲ εἶπεν ἐὰν δῷς ἀρραβῶνα ἕως τοῦ ἀποστεῖλαί σε

18 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τίνα τὸν ἀρραβῶνά σοι δώσω ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τὸν δακτύλιόν σου καὶ τὸν ὁρμίσκον καὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔλαβεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ

19 καὶ ἀναστᾶσα ἀπῆλθεν καὶ περιείλατο τὸ θέριστρον ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῆς καὶ ἐνεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς χηρεύσεως αὐτῆς

20 ἀπέστειλεν δὲ Ιουδας τὸν ἔριφον ἐξ αἰγῶν ἐν χειρὶ τοῦ ποιμένος αὐτοῦ τοῦ Οδολλαμίτου κομίσασθαι τὸν ἀρραβῶνα παρὰ τῆς γυναικός καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν αὐτήν

21 ἐπηρώτησεν δὲ τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς ἐκ τοῦ τόπου ποῦ ἐστιν ἡ πόρνη ἡ γενομένη ἐν Αιναν ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ εἶπαν οὐκ ἦν ἐνταῦθα πόρνη

22 καὶ ἀπεστράφη πρὸς Ιουδαν καὶ εἶπεν οὐχ εὗρον καὶ οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου λέγουσιν μὴ εἶναι ὧδε πόρνην

23 εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας ἐχέτω αὐτά ἀλλὰ μήποτε καταγελασθῶμεν ἐγὼ μὲν ἀπέσταλκα τὸν ἔριφον τοῦτον σὺ δὲ οὐχ εὕρηκας

24 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τρίμηνον ἀπηγγέλη τῷ Ιουδα λέγοντες ἐκπεπόρνευκεν Θαμαρ ἡ νύμφη σου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχει ἐκ πορνείας εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας ἐξαγάγετε αὐτήν καὶ κατακαυθήτω

25 αὐτὴ δὲ ἀγομένη ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὸν πενθερὸν αὐτῆς λέγουσα ἐκ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τίνος ταῦτά ἐστιν ἐγὼ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχω καὶ εἶπεν ἐπίγνωθι τίνος ὁ δακτύλιος καὶ ὁ ὁρμίσκος καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος αὕτη

26 ἐπέγνω δὲ Ιουδας καὶ εἶπεν δεδικαίωται Θαμαρ ἢ ἐγώ οὗ εἵνεκεν οὐκ ἔδωκα αὐτὴν Σηλωμ τῷ υἱῷ μου καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι τοῦ γνῶναι αὐτήν

27 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἔτικτεν καὶ τῇδε ἦν δίδυμα ἐν τῇ γαστρὶ αὐτῆς

28 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ τίκτειν αὐτὴν ὁ εἷς προεξήνεγκεν τὴν χεῖρα λαβοῦσα δὲ ἡ μαῖα ἔδησεν ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κόκκινον λέγουσα οὗτος ἐξελεύσεται πρότερος

29 ὡς δὲ ἐπισυνήγαγεν τὴν χεῖρα καὶ εὐθὺς ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τί διεκόπη διὰ σὲ φραγμός καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Φαρες

30 καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾽ ᾧ ἦν ἐπὶ τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ κόκκινον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ζαρα

1 Eodem tempore, descendens Judas a fratribus suis, divertit ad virum Odollamitem, nomine Hiram.

2 Viditque ibi filiam hominis Chananæi, vocabulo Sue: et accepta uxore, ingressus est ad eam.

3 Quæ concepit, et peperit filium, et vocavit nomen ejus Her.

4 Rursumque concepto fœtu, natum filium vocavit Onan.

5 Tertium quoque peperit: quem appellavit Sela; quo nato, parere ultra cessavit.

6 Dedit autem Judas uxorem primogenito suo Her, nomine Thamar.

7 Fuit quoque Her primogenitus Judæ nequam in conspectu Domini: et ab eo occisus est.

8 Dixit ergo Judas ad Onan filium suum: Ingredere uxorem fratris tui, et sociare illi, ut suscites semen fratri tuo.

9 Ille sciens non sibi nasci filios, introiens ad uxorem fratris sui, semen fundebat in terram, ne liberi fratris nomine nascerentur.

10 Et idcirco percussit eum Dominus, quod rem detestabilem faceret.

11 Quam ob rem dixit Judas Thamar nurui suæ: Esto vidua in domo patris tui, donec crescat Sela filius meus: timebat enim ne et ipse moreretur, sicut fratres ejus. Quæ abiit, et habitavit in domo patris sui.

12 Evolutis autem multis diebus, mortua est filia Sue uxor Judæ: qui, post luctum consolatione suscepta, ascendebat ad tonsores ovium suarum, ipse et Hiras opilio gregis Odollamites, in Thamnas.

13 Nuntiatumque est Thamar quod socer illius ascenderet in Thamnas ad tondendas oves.

14 Quæ, depositis viduitatis vestibus, assumpsit theristrum: et mutato habitu, sedit in bivio itineris, quod ducit Thamnam: eo quod crevisset Sela, et non eum accepisset maritum.

15 Quam cum vidisset Judas, suspicatus est esse meretricem: operuerat enim vultum suum, ne agnosceretur.

16 Ingrediensque ad eam, ait: Dimitte me ut coëam tecum: nesciebat enim quod nurus sua esset. Qua respondente: Quid dabis mihi ut fruaris concubitu meo?

17 dixit: Mittam tibi hædum de gregibus. Rursumque illa dicente: Patiar quod vis, si dederis mihi arrhabonem, donec mittas quod polliceris.

18 Ait Judas: Quid tibi vis pro arrhabone dari? Respondit: Annulum tuum, et armillam, et baculum quem manu tenes. Ad unum igitur coitum mulier concepit,

19 et surgens abiit: depositoque habitu quem sumpserat, induta est viduitatis vestibus.

20 Misit autem Judas hædum per pastorem suum Odollamitem, ut reciperet pignus quod dederat mulieri: qui cum non invenisset eam,

21 interrogavit homines loci illius: Ubi est mulier quæ sedebat in bivio? Respondentibus cunctis: Non fuit in loco ista meretrix.

22 Reversus est ad Judam, et dixit ei: Non inveni eam: sed et homines loci illius dixerunt mihi, numquam sedisse ibi scortum.

23 Ait Judas: Habeat sibi, certe mendacii arguere nos non potest, ego misi hædum quem promiseram: et tu non invenisti eam.

24 Ecce autem post tres menses nuntiaverunt Judæ, dicentes: Fornicata est Thamar nurus tua, et videtur uterus illius intumescere. Dixitque Judas: Producite eam ut comburatur.

25 Quæ cum duceretur ad pœnam, misit ad socerum suum, dicens: De viro, cujus hæc sunt, concepi: cognosce cujus sit annulus, et armilla, et baculus.

26 Qui, agnitis muneribus, ait: Justior me est: quia non tradidi eam Sela filio meo. Attamen ultra non cognovit eam.

27 Instante autem partu, apparuerunt gemini in utero: atque in ipsa effusione infantium unus protulit manum, in qua obstetrix ligavit coccinum, dicens:

28 Iste egredietur prior.

29 Illo vero retrahente manum, egressus est alter: dixitque mulier: Quare divisa est propter te maceria? et ob hanc causam, vocavit nomen ejus Phares.

30 Postea egressus est frater ejus, in cujus manu erat coccinum: quem appellavit Zara.
