Genesis 38:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot or devoted prostitute [under a vow to her goddess], for she had covered her face [as such women did].

¹⁶ He turned to her by the road and said, Come, let me have intercourse with you; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me that you may have intercourse with me?

¹⁷ He answered, I will send you a kid from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge (deposit) until you send it?
