1: And it came to pass,H1961 at timeH6256 that,H1931 departedH3381 JudahH3063 fromH0853 his brothers,H0251 and settledH5186 nearH5704 a certainH0376 Adullamite,H5726 and his name [was]H8034 Hirah.H2437
2: And sawH7200 thereH8033 JudahH3063 a daughterH1323 of a certainH0376 Canaanite,H3669 and whose name [was]H8034 Shua-H7770 and he married herH3947 and went inH0935 to her.H0413
3: So she conceived,H2029 and boreH3205 a son-H1121 and he calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Er.H6147
4: And she conceivedH2029 again,H5750 and boreH3205 a son-H1121 and she calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Onan.H0209
5: And she conceivedH3254 yet againH5750 and boreH3205 a son,H1121 and calledH7121 -H0853 his nameH8034 Shelah-H7956 and He wasH1961 at Chezib,H3580 when she boreH3205 him.H0853
6: And tookH3947 JudahH3063 a wifeH0802 for ErH6147 his firstborn,H1060 and her name [was]H8034 Tamar.H8559
7: But wasH1961 Er,H6147 firstbornH1060 of Judah,H3063 wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh-H3068 and killed himH4191 Yahweh.H3068
8: And saidH0559 JudahH3063 to Onan,H0209 go inH0935 toH0413 the wifeH0802 of your brother,H0251 and marryH2992 her,H0853 and raise upH6965 an heirH2233 to your brother.H0251
9: But knewH3045 OnanH0209 thatH3588 notH3808 would beH1961 the heir,H2233 and it came to pass,H1961 whenH0518 he went inH0935 toH0413 the wifeH0802 of his brother,H0251 that he emittedH7843 on the ground,H0776 lestH1115 he should giveH5414 an heirH2233 to his brother.H0251
10: And displeasedH7489 in the sightH5869 YahwehH3068 the thing whichH0834 he did,H6213 therefore He killedH4191 alsoH1571 him.H0853
11: And saidH0559 JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughter-in-law,H3618 RemainH3427 a widowH0490 in the house,H1004 of in your father,H0001 untilH5704 is grownH1431 ShelahH7956 my son-H1121 ForH3588 he said,H0559 lestH6435 dieH4191 alsoH1571 heH1931 like his brothers-H0251 And wentH1980 TamarH8559 and dweltH3427 houseH1004 of in her father.H0001
12: NowH7235 in the course of timeH3117 diedH4191 the daughterH1323 of Shua,H7770 wifeH0802 of Judah.H3063 And was comfortedH5162 Judah,H3063 and went upH5927 toH5921 the shearersH1494 of sheep H6629 heH1931 and HirahH2437 his friend,H7453 the Adullamite,H5726 at Timnah,H8553
13: and it was toldH5046 Tamar,H8559 saying,H0559 beholdH2009 your father-in-lawH2524 is going upH5927 to TimnahH8553 to shearH1494 his sheep .H6629
14: So she took offH5493 her garmentsH0899 of widowhoodH0491 from her,H5921 and covered [herself]H3680 with a veil,H6809 and wrapped herself,H5968 and satH3427 in the entrance,H6607 of EnaimH5869 that [was]H0834 onH5921 the wayH1870 to Timnah-H8553 forH3588 she sawH7200 thatH3588 was grownH1431 Shelah,H7956 and sheH1931 notH3808 was givenH5414 as a wife.H0802
15: And when saw herH7200 JudahH3063 he thought she [was]H2803 a harlot-H2181 becauseH3588 she had coveredH3680 her face.H6440
16: And he turnedH5186 to herH0413 byH0413 the way,H1870 and said,H0559 Come,H3051 now,H4994 let me come inH0935 to you,H0413 ForH3588 notH3808 he did knowH3045 thatH3588 his daughter-in-lawH3618 she [was].H1931 So she said,H0559 whatH4100 will you giveH5414 thatH3588 you may come inH0935 to me.H0413
17: And he said,H0559 IH0595 will sendH7971 a youngH1423 goat H5795 fromH4480 the flock .H6629 So she said,H0559 Only ifH0518 will you give [me]H5414 a pledge,H6162 untilH5704 you send it?H7971
18: And he said,H0559 whatH4100 pledgeH6162 thatH0834 shall I giveH5414 so she said,H0559 Your signet,H2368 and cord,H6616 and your staffH4294 that [is]H0834 in your hand.H3027 And he gave [them]H5414 and went inH0935 to her,H0413 and she conceivedH2029
19: So she arose,H6965 and went away,H1980 and laid asideH5493 her veilH6809 upon,H5921 and put onH3847 the garmentsH0899 of her widowhood.H0491
20: And sentH7971 JudahH3063 -H0853 the youngH1423 goat H5795 by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the Adullamite,H5726 to receiveH3947 [his] pledgeH6162 from handH3027 of the woman-H0802 but notH3808 he did find her.H4672
21: And he askedH7592 -H0853 the menH0582 of that place,H4725 saying,H0559 where isH0346 the harlot,H6948 she [was]H1931 in EnaimH5879 byH5921 the roadside?H1870 And they said,H0559 noH3808 there wasH1961 in this [place]H2088 harlot.H6948
22: So he returnedH7725 toH0413 Judah,H3063 and said,H0559 cannotH3808 I find her,H4672 andH1571 the menH0376 of the placeH4725 said,H0559 noH3808 there wasH1961 in this [place]H2088 harlot.H6948
23: And saidH0559 Judah,H3063 let her take [them]H3947 lestH6435 we beH1961 shamed.H0937 For,H2009 I sentH7971 young goatH1423 this,H2088 and youH0859 notH3808 have found her.H4672
24: And it came to pass,H1961 about after threeH7969 monthsH2320 that was toldH5046 Judah,H3063 saying,H0559 has played the harlotH2181 Tamar,H8559 your daughter-in-law-H3618 and furthermore,H1571 behold,H2009 she [is] pregnantH2030 by harlotry.H2183 So saidH0559 Judah,H3063 bring her outH3318 and let her be burned.H8313
25: [when] sheH1931 [was] brought out,H3318 then sheH1931 sentH7971 toH0413 her father-in-law,H2524 saying,H0559 by the manH0582 to whomH0834 theseH0428 IH0595 [am] pregnant-H2030 And she said,H0559 determine,H5234 please,H4994 to whom [is]H4310 the signet,H2858 and cord,H6616 and staffH4294 these.H0428
26: So acknowledged [them]H5234 JudahH3063 and said,H0559 She is more righteousH6663 than IH4480 becauseH3588 uponH5921 thusH3651 notH3808 I did give herH5414 to ShelahH7956 my son.H1121 And neverH3808 againH3254 moreH5750 he knew her.H3045
27: And it came to passH1961 at the time forH6256 giving birth,H3205 that behold,H2009 twins [were]H8380 in her womb.H0990
28: And so it was,H1961 when she was giving birth,H3205 that [the one] put outH5414 [his] handH3027 and tookH3947 the midwife,H3205 and tiedH7194 onH5921 his handH3027 a scarlet [thread],H8144 saying,H0559 this [one]H2088 came outH3318 first.H7223
29: And it came to pass,H1961 as he drew backH7725 his hand,H3027 behold,H2009 came outH3318 his brother-H0251 and she said,H0559 HowH4100 have you broken forth?H6555 upon youH5921 [is a] breach,H6556 Therefore was calledH7121 his nameH8034 Perez.H6557
30: And afterwardH0310 came outH3318 his brother,H0251 who hadH0834 onH5921 his handH3027 the scarlet [thread]-H8144 and was calledH7121 his nameH8034 Zerah.H2226
