@ And it came to pass at that
time
, that
Judah
went
down
from his
brethren
, and
turned
in to a
certain
Adullamite
, whose
name
was
Hirah
.
strkjv@Genesis:38:2
@ And
Judah
saw
there a
daughter
of a
certain
Canaanite
K@, whose
name
was
Shuah
; and he took
her
, and went
in
unto her.
strkjv@Genesis:38:3
@ And she
conceived
, and
bare
a
son
; and he
called
his
name
Er

strkjv@Genesis:38:4

conceived
again, and
bare
a
son

called
his

Onan

strkjv@Genesis:38:5
@ And she yet again
conceived
, and
bare
a
son

called
his

Shelah

bare
him.
strkjv@Genesis:38:6
@ And
Judah
took
a
wife
for
Er
his
firstborn

was
Tamar

strkjv@Genesis:38:7
@ And
Er
,
Judahs
firstborn
, was
wicked
in the
sight
of the
LORD
; and the
LORD
slew
him.
strkjv@Genesis:38:8
@ And
Judah
said
unto
Onan
, Go
in
unto thy
brothers
wife
, and
marry
her, and raise
up
seed
to thy
brother

strkjv@Genesis:38:9
@ And
Onan
knew
that the
seed
should not be his; and it came to pass,
when
he went
in
unto his
brothers
wife

spilled
it on the
ground
,
lest
that he should
give
seed
to his
brother

which
he
did
displeased
the
LORD

slew
him also.

said
Judah
to
Tamar
his daughter in

Remain
a
widow
at thy
fathers
house

Shelah
my
son
be
grown
: for he
said
, Lest peradventure he
die
also, as his

did. And
Tamar
went

dwelt
in her
fathers
house

the

was
comforted

up
unto his

Timnath

friend
Hirah

Adullamite

told
Tamar

saying

goeth
up

Timnath

shear
his
sheep

strkjv@Genesis:38:14
@ And she
put
her
widows
garments
off
from her, and covered
her
with a
vail
, and wrapped
herself
, and sat
in
an
open
place
, which is by the
way
to
Timnath
; for she
saw
that
Shelah
was
grown
, and she was not
given
unto him to
wife

strkjv@Genesis:38:15
@ When
Judah
saw
her

thought
her to be an
harlot

covered
her
face

strkjv@Genesis:38:16
@ And he
turned
unto her by the
way
, and
said
, Go
to
, I pray thee, let me come
in
unto thee; (for he
knew
not that she was his daughter in
law

said
, What wilt thou
give
me, that thou mayest come
in
unto me?
strkjv@Genesis:38:17
@ And he
said

send
thee a
kid
H1423from the

send
it?

said

What

thee? And she
said

signet

gave
it her, and came
in
unto her, and she
conceived
by him.
strkjv@Genesis:38:19
@ And she
arose
, and went
away

by
her
vail

widowhood

Judah
sent

by the

her
not.

@ Then he
asked
the
men
of that
place

saying
, Where is the
harlot

openly
by the way
side

said

harlot

this
place.

returned
to
Judah

said

cannot
find

Judah
said

take
it to her, lest we be
shamed

sent

her.

Tamar
thy daughter in

child

Judah
said

forth

burnt

forth

sent
to her father in

acknowledged
