Genesis 38:1

And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Judah goeth down from his brethren, and turneth aside unto a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] 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

and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her.

And there he saw the daughter of a certain man of Canaan named Shua, and took her as his wife.

Genesis 38:3

And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er;

And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er.

Genesis 38:4

And again she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Onan.

Genesis 38:5

and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him.

Then she had another son, to whom she gave the name Shelah; she was at Chezib when the birth took place.

Genesis 38:6

And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar;

And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.

Genesis 38:7

and Er, Judah`s first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death.

Now Er, Judah's first son, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, so that he put him to death.

Genesis 38:8

And Judah saith to Onan, `Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, 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

and Onan knoweth that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother`s wife, that he hath destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to give 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

and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death.

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

And Judah saith to Tamar his daughter-in-law, `Abide a widow at thy father`s house, till Shelah my son groweth up;` for he said, `Lest he die even he like his brethren;` and Tamar goeth and dwelleth at 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

And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah`s wife, dieth; and Judah is comforted, and goeth up unto his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath.

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

And it is declared to Tamar, saying, `Lo, thy husband`s father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;`

And when Tamar had news that her father-in-law was going up to Timnah to the wool-cutting,

Genesis 38:14

and she turneth aside the garments of her widowhood from off her, and covereth herself with a vail, and wrappeth herself up, and sitteth in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way to Timnath, for she hath seen that Shelah hath grown up, and she hath not been given to him for a 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

And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath 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

and he turneth aside unto her by the way, and saith, `Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee,` (for he hath not known that she [is] his daughter-in-law); and she saith, `What dost thou give to me, that thou mayest come in unto 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

and he saith, `I I send a kid of the goats from the flock.` And she saith, `Dost thou give a pledge till 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

and he saith, `What [is] the pledge that I give to thee?` and she saith, `Thy seal, and thy ribbon, and thy staff which [is] in thy hand;` and he giveth to her, and goeth in unto her, and she conceiveth to 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

and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth 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 38:20

And Judah sendeth the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he hath not found her.

Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.

Genesis 38:21

And he asketh the men of her place, saying, `Where [is] the separated one she in Enayim, by the way?` and they say, `There hath not been in this [place] a separated one.`

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

And he turneth back unto Judah, and saith, `I have not found her; and the men of the place also have said, There hath not been in this [place] a separated one,`

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

and Judah saith, `Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, 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

And it cometh to pass about three months [after], that it is declared to Judah, saying, `Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath committed fornication; and also, lo, she hath conceived by fornication:` and Judah saith, `Bring her out and she is burnt.`

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

She is brought out, and she hath sent unto her husband`s father, saying, `To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant;` and she saith, `Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these the seal, and the ribbons, and the 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

And Judah discerneth and saith, `She hath been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to Shelah my son;` and he hath not added to know her again.

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 38:27

And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb;

And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.

Genesis 38:28

and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that [one] giveth out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, `This hath come out first.`

And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

Genesis 38:29

And it cometh to pass as he draweth back his hand, that lo, his brother hath come out, and she saith, `What! thou hast broken forth on thee [is] the breach;` and he calleth his name Pharez;

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

and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah.

And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.
