8 And|strong="H3063" Judah|strong="H3063" said unto|strong="H2233" Onan, Go|strong="H6965" in|strong="H3063" unto|strong="H2233" thy|strong="H6965" brother|strong="H2992"’s wife, and|strong="H3063" perform|strong="H6965" the|strong="H6965" duty|strong="H2992" of|strong="H2233" a|strong="H3068" husband’s brother|strong="H2992" unto|strong="H2233" her|strong="H6965", and|strong="H3063" raise|strong="H6965" up|strong="H6965" seed|strong="H2233" to|strong="H6965" thy|strong="H6965" brother|strong="H2992".

12 And|strong="H3063" in|strong="H5921" process|strong="H7235" of|strong="H3117" time|strong="H3117" Shua|strong="H7770"’s daughter|strong="H1323", the|strong="H5921" wife of|strong="H3117" Judah|strong="H3063", died|strong="H4191"; and|strong="H3063" Judah|strong="H3063" was|strong="H1931" comforted|strong="H5162", and|strong="H3063" went|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" unto|strong="H5927" his|strong="H5921" sheepshearers|strong="H1494" to|strong="H4191" Timnah|strong="H8553", he|strong="H1931" and|strong="H3063" his|strong="H5921" friend|strong="H7453" Hirah|strong="H2437" the|strong="H5921" Adullamite|strong="H5726".

14 And|strong="H1870" she|strong="H1931" put|strong="H5414" off|strong="H5493" from|strong="H5493" her|strong="H5414" the|strong="H5921" garments of|strong="H3427" her|strong="H5414" widowhood, and|strong="H1870" covered|strong="H3680" herself|strong="H1931" with|strong="H5921" her|strong="H5414" veil|strong="H6809", and|strong="H1870" wrapped|strong="H5968" herself|strong="H1931", and|strong="H1870" sat|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H5921" gate|strong="H6607" of|strong="H3427" Enaim|strong="H5879", which|strong="H1931" is|strong="H1931" by|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" way|strong="H1870" to|strong="H5921" Timnah|strong="H8553"; for|strong="H3588" she|strong="H1931" saw|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" Shelah|strong="H7956" was|strong="H1931" grown|strong="H1431" up|strong="H5414", and|strong="H1870" she|strong="H1931" was|strong="H1931" not|strong="H3808" given|strong="H5414" unto|strong="H5414" him|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5921" wife.
15 When|strong="H3588" Judah|strong="H3063" saw|strong="H7200" her|strong="H7200", he|strong="H3588" thought|strong="H2803" her|strong="H7200" to|strong="H6440" be|strong="H3063" a|strong="H3068" harlot|strong="H2181"; for|strong="H3588" she|strong="H3588" had|strong="H3063" covered|strong="H3680" her|strong="H7200" face|strong="H6440".

And|strong="H1870" she|strong="H1931" said, What|strong="H4100" wilt thou|strong="H3045" give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414", that|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3045" mayest come|strong="H3051" in|strong="H1870" unto|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414"?
17 And|strong="H7971" he|strong="H5704" said, I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H5414" send|strong="H7971" thee|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" kid|strong="H1423" of|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5414" goats|strong="H5795" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H5414" flock|strong="H6629". And|strong="H7971" she|strong="H5704" said, Wilt thou|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" pledge|strong="H6162", till|strong="H5704" thou|strong="H5414" send|strong="H7971" it|strong="H5414"?
18 And|strong="H3027" he|strong="H5414" said, What|strong="H4100" pledge|strong="H6162" shall|strong="H3027" I|strong="H5414" give|strong="H5414" thee|strong="H5414"? And|strong="H3027" she|strong="H4100" said, Thy|strong="H5414" signet|strong="H2368" and|strong="H3027" thy|strong="H5414" cord|strong="H6616", and|strong="H3027" thy|strong="H5414" staff|strong="H4294" that|strong="H5414" is|strong="H4100" in|strong="H3027" thy|strong="H5414" hand|strong="H3027". And|strong="H3027" he|strong="H5414" gave|strong="H5414" them|strong="H5414" to|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414", and|strong="H3027" came in|strong="H3027" unto|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414", and|strong="H3027" she|strong="H4100" conceived|strong="H2029" by|strong="H3027" him|strong="H5414".
19 And|strong="H6965" she|strong="H5921" arose|strong="H6965", and|strong="H6965" went|strong="H3212" away|strong="H5493", and|strong="H6965" put|strong="H3847" off|strong="H5493" her|strong="H5493" veil|strong="H6809" from|strong="H5493" her|strong="H5493", and|strong="H6965" put|strong="H3847" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" garments of|strong="H5921" her|strong="H5493" widowhood.

22 And|strong="H3063" he|strong="H3808" returned|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" Judah|strong="H3063", and|strong="H3063" said, I|strong="H2088" have|strong="H1961" not|strong="H3808" found|strong="H4672" her|strong="H4672"; and|strong="H3063" also|strong="H1571" the|strong="H7725" men of|strong="H4725" the|strong="H7725" place|strong="H4725" said, There|strong="H1961" hath|strong="H3063" been|strong="H1961" no|strong="H3808" prostitute here|strong="H2088".
23 And|strong="H3063" Judah|strong="H3063" said, Let|strong="H7971" her|strong="H7971" take|strong="H3947" it|strong="H1961" to|strong="H7971" her|strong="H7971", lest|strong="H6435" we|strong="H3068" be|strong="H1961" put|strong="H7971" to|strong="H7971" shame: behold|strong="H2009", I|strong="H2009" sent|strong="H7971" this|strong="H2088" kid|strong="H1423", and|strong="H3063" thou|strong="H1961" hast not|strong="H3808" found|strong="H4672" her|strong="H7971".

25 When|strong="H3318" she|strong="H1931" was|strong="H1931" brought|strong="H3318" forth|strong="H3318", she|strong="H1931" sent|strong="H7971" to|strong="H3318" her|strong="H7971" father-in-law|strong="H2524", saying, By|strong="H3318" the|strong="H7971" man, whose|strong="H4310" these|strong="H1931" are|strong="H4310", am I|strong="H3318" with|strong="H3318" child|strong="H2030": and|strong="H7971" she|strong="H1931" said|strong="H3318", Discern|strong="H5234", I|strong="H3318" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H7971", whose|strong="H4310" are|strong="H4310" these|strong="H1931", the|strong="H7971" signet|strong="H2858", and|strong="H7971" the|strong="H7971" cords|strong="H6616", and|strong="H7971" the|strong="H7971" staff|strong="H4294".
26 And|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" acknowledged|strong="H3045" them|strong="H5414", and|strong="H1121" said|strong="H3651", She|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3651" more|strong="H3254" righteous|strong="H6663" than|strong="H4480" I|strong="H3588", forasmuch|strong="H3588" as|strong="H3651" I|strong="H3588" gave|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414" not|strong="H3808" to|strong="H5921" Shelah|strong="H7956" my|strong="H5414" son|strong="H1121".
