Genesis 38:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ Now, after three months, one told Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the whore; and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with child.” Then Judah said, “Bring her forth and let her be burnt.”

²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man to whom these things pertain, am I with child.” And she also said, “Please determine who’s these are: the seal and the cloak and the staff.”

²⁶ Then Judah knew, and said, “She is more righteous than me. For she has done it because I did not give her to Shelah, my son.” So, he lay with her no more.
