Genesis 38:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶ When Judah recognized them, he admitted, “She is more upright than I, because I never did give her my son Shelah.” And he never had sex with her again.

²⁷ Later, when it was time for Tamar^[a] to give birth, she was carrying twins in her womb! ²⁸ While she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand, so the midwife grabbed it and tied something scarlet around his hand, observing, “This one came out first.”
