24 And so be it, about three months after, they tell Yah Hudah, saying, Tamar your daughter in law has whored; and also, behold, she conceived by whoredoms. And Yah Hudah says, Bring her, and burn her.
25 They bring her, and she sends to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, I conceived! And she says, Recognize, I beseech you, whose these are - the seal and braids and rod.
26 And Yah Hudah recognizes them, and says, She is more justified than I; because I gave her not to Shelah my son. - and he knew her again no more.
27 And so be it, in the time of her birthing, that, behold, twins in her belly.
28 And so be it, as she births, the one gives out a hand: and the accoucheuse takes and binds scarlet on his hand, saying, This came out first.
29 And so be it, as he turns back his hand, behold, his brother comes out: and she says, How have you breached? This breach be upon you! - and he calls his name Peres.
30 And afterward his brother comes out, with the scarlet on his hand: and he calls his name Zerach.
