Genesis 38:28-30
English Standard Version
28 And when she was in labor, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 But as he drew back his hand, behold, his brother came out. And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called (A)Perez.[a] 30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called (B)Zerah.
