*
He said , "
What pledge shall I give you ?"
She replied , "
Your signet and your cord ,
and your staff that is in your hand ."
So he gave them to her ,
and went in to her ,
and she conceived by him .
*
Then she arose and went away ,
and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood .
*
When Judah sent the kid by his friend the Adullamite ,
to receive the pledge from the woman '
s hand ,
he could not find her .
*
And he asked the men of the place , "
Where is the harlot who was at Enaim by the wayside ?"
And they said , "
No harlot has been here ."
*
So he returned to Judah ,
and said , "
I have not found her ;
and also the men of the place said , `
No harlot has been here .'"
*
And Judah replied , "
Let her keep the things as her own ,
lest we be laughed at ;
you see ,
I sent this kid ,
and you could not find her ."
