Genesis 38:24-26

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁴ About three months later Judah was told, ‘Your daughter-in-law, Tamar, has been acting like a prostitute, and now she is pregnant.’

‘Bring her out,’ Judah said, ‘and let her be burned to death! ’^(A)

²⁵ As she was being brought out, she sent her father-in-law this message: ‘I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong.’ And she added, ‘Examine them. Whose signet ring, cord, and staff are these? ’

²⁶ Judah recognised them and said, ‘She is more in the right^[a] than I,^(B) since I did not give her to my son Shelah.’ And he did not know her intimately again.
