Lexham English Bible
23 And Judah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we be laughed at.[a] Behold, I sent this kid, but you could not find her.” 24 And about three months later[b] it was told to Judah, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the whore, and now, behold, she has conceived by prostitution.” And Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned.” 25 She was brought out, but she sent to her father-in-law saying, “By the man to whom these belong I have conceived.” And she said, “Now discern[c] to whom these belong: the seal and cord and the staff.”
