Kejadian 38:24

38:24 After three months Judah was told, ²  “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has turned to prostitution, ³  and as a result she has become pregnant.” ⁴  Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!”

[38:15]  ¹ tn Heb “he reckoned her for a prostitute,” which was what Tamar had intended for him to do. She obviously had some idea of his inclinations, or she would not have tried this risky plan.

[38:24]  ² tn Heb “it was told to Judah, saying.”

[38:24]  ³ tn Or “has been sexually promiscuous.” The verb may refer here to loose or promiscuous activity, not necessarily prostitution.

[38:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “and also look, she is with child by prostitution.”
