Genesis 38:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, [a]Remain a widow in thy father’s house, till Shelah my son grow up (for he thought thus, Lest he die as well as his brethren,) So Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.
12 ¶ And in process of time also the daughter of Shua Judah’s wife died. Then Judah, when he [b]had left mourning, went up to his sheepshearers to Timnah, he, and his neighbor Hirah the Adullamite.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath, to shear his sheep.
