Genesis 38:19-23
New International Version
19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes(A) again.
20 Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite(B) in order to get his pledge(C) back from the woman, but he did not find her. 21 He asked the men who lived there, “Where is the shrine prostitute(D) who was beside the road at Enaim?”
“There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here,” they said.
22 So he went back to Judah and said, “I didn’t find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, ‘There hasn’t been any shrine prostitute here.’”
23 Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has,(E) or we will become a laughingstock.(F) After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn’t find her.”
