RF GEN 38:1 History of Judah.
About this same time Judah went and separated from his brothers, and joined with an Adulamite, whose name was Hirah.
RF GEN 38:2 Whilst there he saw the daughter of a Canaanite, whose name was Beth-Shua and he took her and married her,
RF GEN 38:3 and she conceived and bore a son, and called his name Ar.
RF GEN 38:4 Then she conceived again and bore a son, and called his name Onan.
RF GEN 38:5 She afterwards increased and bore a son and called his name Shelah; then she ceased to be child-bearing.
RF GEN 38:6 When Judah took a wife for his eldest son Ar, her name was Thamar.
RF GEN 38:7 But Ar, Judah's eldest son, was wicked in the presence of the EVER-LIVING, so the LORD caused him to die.
RF GEN 38:8 Judah consequently said to Onan, "Marry the wife of your brother, and raise up an heir for your brother."
RF GEN 38:9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be his own, therefore when he approached his brother's wife, he ejected on the ground, instead of giving seed to his brother.
RF GEN 38:10 What he did was, however, wicked in the eyes of the EVER-LIVING, and therefore He caused him to die.
RF GEN 38:11 Then Judah said to Thamar "Return as a widow to your father's house until Shelah my son grows up," for he reflected "Perhaps she may also kill him like his brothers." Therefore Thamar went and returned to her father's house.
RF GEN 38:12 But time went on, and Beth-Shua the wife of Judah died and Judah grieved for her, and went up with Hirah the Adulamite, his partner, to shear the sheep at Timnath;
RF GEN 38:13 and it was reported to Thamar, that her father-in-law was going up to Timnath to shear his sheep,
RF GEN 38:14 so she put off her widow's weeds and concealed herself in her veil, and went down and sat at the opening by the wells which are on the road to Timnath, for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and he was not given to her as a husband:
RF GEN 38:15 Judah saw her, and he thought she was a harlot, for she had hidden her face,
RF GEN 38:16 so he turned from the road to her, and said, "Come on, go with me; "—for he knew not she was his daughter-in-law.
Then she asked, "What will you give to me, if I go with you?"
RF GEN 38:17 Then he replied—"I will send you a kid of the goats or sheep."
And she replied—"If you will give me a pledge that you will send them?"
RF GEN 38:18 He replied, "What is the pledge that I shall give you?" And she answered "Your ring and the stick you have in your hand." So he gave her them, and he went with her, and she conceived to him.
RF GEN 38:19 Then she arose, and went and put the veil from off her, and dressed herself in her widow's weeds.
RF GEN 38:20 But Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his partner the Adulamite, who was to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman;—and he could not find her.
RF GEN 38:21 He therefore enquired of the men of the place asking, "Where is the whore of the wells by the road?" But they replied, "There is no whore by there."
RF GEN 38:22 So he returned to Judah and reported, "I cannot find her;—and the men of the place said there was not a whore there."
RF GEN 38:23 Judah, therefore, said; "You have taken it to her, therefore I cannot be abused by her; for I sent the kid, but you could not find her."
RF GEN 38:24 But three months after it was reported to Judah "Your daughter-in-law Thamar has prostituted herself, and she is also with child from her fornication;" and Judah replied, "Bring her here and burn her."
RF GEN 38:25 They brought her when she produced the ring and walking stick;—and said, "By the man that these belong to I am with child;" and she continued, "To whom belongs this ring and its motto, and this walking stick?"
RF GEN 38:26 Then Judah replied and said," You are more virtuous than I; for I did not give you Shelah my son." He therefore proceeded no further to examine her.
RF GEN 38:27 When, however, the time for her delivery came, there were twins in her belly,
RF GEN 38:28 and it happened in her childing one put out his hand, so the midwife took it, and tied a scarlet thread upon its hand, remarking, "This came the first."
RF GEN 38:29 But it occurred that he drew back the hand, and then his brother was produced, when she said, "What? Have you broken? The breach be upon yourself:" therefore she called his name Pherez;1
RF GEN 38:30 and afterwards his brother was born, upon whose hand was the scarlet thread; so she called his name Zarah.2
