38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute 1 because she had covered her face. 38:16 He turned aside to her along the road and said, “Come on! I want to have sex with you.” 2 (He did not realize 3 it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked, “What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?” 4 38:17 He replied, “I’ll send you a young goat from the flock.” She asked, “Will you give me a pledge until you send it?” 5 38:18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?” She replied, “Your seal, your cord, and the staff that’s in your hand.” So he gave them to her and had sex with her. 6 She became pregnant by him. 38:19 She left immediately, 7 removed her veil, and put on her widow’s clothes.
