When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot, because she had covered her face.

Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the wayside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.”

And he returned to Judah and said, “I cannot find her, and also the men of the place said that there was no harlot in this place.”

And it came to pass about three months after that it was told Judah, saying, “Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom.” And Judah said, “Bring her forth, and let her be burned.”
