| Genesis 38:1 | It happened at that time, that Judah went down from his brothers, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. | And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a man of Adullam whose name was Hirah. | Now at that time, Judah went away from his brothers and became the friend of a man of Adullam named Hirah. |
| Genesis 38:2 | Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her, and went in to her. | And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish man whose name was Shua; and he took her, and went in to her. | And there he saw the daughter of a certain man of Canaan named Shua, and took her as his wife. |
| Genesis 38:3 | She conceived, and bore a son; and he named him Er. | And she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Er. | And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er. |

| Genesis 38:7 | Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh. Yahweh killed him. | And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him. | Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death. |
| Genesis 38:8 | Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother." | Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother. | Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother. |
| Genesis 38:9 | Onan knew that the seed wouldn't be his; and it happened, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother. | But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother. | But Onan, seeing that the offspring would not be his, went in to his brother's wife, but let his seed go on to the earth, so that he might not get offspring for his brother. |
| Genesis 38:10 | The thing which he did was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he killed him also. | And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also. | And what he did was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death, like his brother. |
| Genesis 38:11 | Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, "Remain a widow in your father's house, until Shelah, my son, is grown up;" for he said, "Lest he also die, like his brothers." Tamar went and lived in her father's house. | And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, until Shelah my son is grown; for he said, Lest he die also, as his brethren. And Tamar went and remained in her father's house. | Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house. |
| Genesis 38:12 | After many days, Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheep-shearers to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah, the Adullamite. | And as the days were multiplied, Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheep-shearers, to Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. | And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him. |
| Genesis 38:13 | It was told Tamar, saying, "Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep." | And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep. | And when Tamar had news that her father-in-law was going up to Timnah to the wool-cutting, |
| Genesis 38:14 | She took off of her the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is by the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn't given to him as a wife. | And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife. | She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife. |
| Genesis 38:15 | When Judah saw her, he thought that she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. | And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face. | When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered. |
| Genesis 38:16 | He turned to her by the way, and said, "Please come, let me come in to you:" for he didn't know that she was his daughter-in-law. She said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" | And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me? | And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price? |
| Genesis 38:17 | He said, "I will send you a kid of the goats from the flock." She said, "Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?" | And he said, I will send [thee] a kid of the goats from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, until thou send it? | And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it? |
| Genesis 38:18 | He said, "What pledge will I give you?" She said, "Your signet and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him. | And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy lace, and thy staff which is in thy hand. And he gave [it] her, and went in to her; and she conceived by him. | And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him. |
| Genesis 38:19 | She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. | And she arose and went away; and she laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. | Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing. |

| Genesis 38:21 | Then he asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here." | And he asked the men of her place, saying, Where is the prostitute that was at Enaim, by the way-side? And they said, There was no prostitute here. | And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there. |
| Genesis 38:22 | He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'" | And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, No prostitute has been here. | So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there. |
| Genesis 38:23 | Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and you haven't found her." | Then Judah said, Let her take [it] for herself, lest we be put to shame. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. | And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman. |
| Genesis 38:24 | It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her forth, and let her be burnt." | And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law has committed fornication, and behold, she is also with child by fornication. And Judah said, Bring her forth, that she may be burned. | Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned. |
| Genesis 38:25 | When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these - the signet, and the cords, and the staff." | When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these [belong] am I with child; and she said, Acknowledge, I pray thee, whose are this signet, and this lace, and this staff. | And while she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, The man whose property these things are, is the father of my child: say then, whose are this ring and this cord and this stick? |
| Genesis 38:26 | Judah acknowledged them, and said, "She is more righteous than I, because I didn't give her to Shelah, my son." He knew her again no more. | And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She is more righteous than I, because I have not given her to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. | Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her. |

| Genesis 38:29 | It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said, "Why have you made a breach for yourself?" Therefore his name was called Perez. | And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out; and she said, How hast thou broken forth! on thee be the breach! And they called his name Pherez. | But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez. |
| Genesis 38:30 | Afterward his brother came out, that had the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah. | And afterwards came out his brother, round whose hand was the scarlet thread; and they called his name Zerah. | And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah. |
