Genesis 38:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ Judah asked, “What do you want me to give you as a ·deposit [pledge]?”

Tamar answered, “Give me your ·seal [signet] and its cord, and give me your ·walking stick [staff; ^Call items that could identify a person].” So Judah gave these things to her. Then ·Judah and Tamar had sexual relations, and Tamar became pregnant [^Lhe went to her and she conceived]. ¹⁹ When ·Tamar went home [^Lshe got up and went], she took off the veil that covered her face and put on the clothes that showed she was a widow.

²⁰ Judah sent his friend ·Hirah [^Lthe Adullamite; 38:1] with the young goat to find the woman and get back his ·seal [signet] and the ·walking stick [staff] he had given her, but Hirah could not find her.
