13 And told is it to Thamar, saying, "Behold! Your husband's father is going up to Timnah to the shearing of his flock.
14 And away is she taking the garments of her widowhood off her, and is covering herself with a veil and she is bedecking herself. And sitting is she at the opening to the springs, which are on the way to Timnah, for she sees that Shelah is grown, and she is not given to him for a wife.
15 And seeing her is Judah, and is accounting her to be a prostitute, for she covers her face, and he did not recognize her.
16 And aside is he turning to her by the way, and is saying to her, "Prithee, pray, coming am I to you,for not know does he that she is his daughter-in-law. And saying is she, "What will you give to me that you shall come to me?
17 And saying is he, "I will send to you a kid of the goats from the flock.And saying is she, "If you will give a surety till you send.
18 And saying is he, "What is the surety which I shall give to you?And saying is she, "Your seal and your twist and your staff which is in your hand.And giving them is he to her, and is coming to her, and pregnant is she by him.
19 And rising is she and going, and is taking away her veil off her and is putting on the garments of her widowhood.
20 And sending is Judah the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd, the Adullamite, to take the surety from the hand of the woman. Yet he did not find her.
21 And asking is he the mortals of her place, saying, "Where is the hallowed harlot, she at the springs, on the way?And saying are they, "No hallowed harlot came to be in this place.
22 And returning is he to Judah and saying, "I did not find her. And, moreover, the mortals of the place say, `No hallowed harlot came to be in this place..
23 And saying is Judah, "Take it to her shall she, lest we come into contempt! Behold! I send this kid and you did not find her!"
24 And coming is it, about three months from this, that it is being told Judah, saying, "Your daughter-in-law Thamar commits prostitution, and moreover, behold! Pregnant is she by prostitutions.And saying is Judah, "Bring her forth, and burned shall she be.
25 Forth is she brought. Yet she sends to her husband's father, saying, "By the man whose these are am I pregnant.And saying is she, "Identify, pray, whose these are: the seal and the twist and the staff.
26 And identifying them is Judah, and is saying, "More just is Thamar than I, therefore, for I did not give her to Shelah, my son.Yet not continue does he to know her further.
27 And coming is it, at the time of her bearing, that, behold! Twins are in her belly.
28 And coming is it, in her bearing that one is putting out a hand. And taking it is the midwife and tying on his hand a double-dipped token, saying, "This fares forth first.
29 And coming is it, as his hand is returning, then, behold! Forth fares his brother. And saying is she, "What! Breached have you. On you be the breach!"And calling is she his name Pharez.
30 And afterward forth comes his brother, who had on his hand the double-dipped token. And calling is she his name Zarah.
