Genesis 38:24-26

New American Standard Bible

²⁴ Now it was about three months later that Judah was ^[a]informed, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and behold, she is also pregnant by prostitution.” Then Judah said, “Bring her out and ^(A)have her burned!” ²⁵ It was while she was being brought out that she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, “I am pregnant by the man to whom these things belong.” She also said, “^(B)Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?” ²⁶ And Judah recognized them, and said, “^(C)She is more righteous than I, since ^(D)I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not ^[b]have relations with her again.
