¹⁴ she took off her widow’s clothes,^(A) covered herself with a veil^(B) to disguise herself, and then sat down^(C) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.^(D) For she saw that, though Shelah^(E) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.

¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute,^(F) for she had covered her face.
