And he gave it her and lay by her, and she was with
child by him. And she gat her up and went and put her mantle from
her, and put on her widow's raiment again. And Iudas sent the kid
by his neighbour of Odollam, for to fetch out his pledge again
from the wife's hand. But he found her not. Then asked he the men
of the same place saying: where is the whore that sat at Enaim in
the way? And they said: there was no whore here. And he came to
Iuda again saying: I can not find her, and also the men of the
place said: that there was no whore there. And Iuda said: let her
take it to her, lest we be shamed: for I sent the kid and thou
couldest not find her. And it came to pass that after three
months, one told Iuda saying: Thamar thy daughter-in-law hath
played the whore, and with playing the whore is become great with
child. And Iuda said: bring her forth and let her be brent. And
when they brought her forth, she sent to her father-in-law saying:
by the man unto whom these things pertain, am I with child. And
said also: look whose are this seal, necklace, and staff. And Iuda
knew them saying: she is more righteous than I, because I gave her
not to Sela my son. But he lay with her no more. When time was
come that she should be delivered, behold there was two twins in
her womb.
