Genesis 38:28-30

Darby Translation

²⁸ And it came to pass when she brought forth, that one stretched out [his] hand, and the midwife took it and bound round his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

²⁹ And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez.

³⁰ And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah.
