01:038:008 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and
marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
01:038:009 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
01:038:010 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
01:038:011 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow
at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he
said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And
Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
01:038:012 And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife
died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his
sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the
Adullamite.
01:038:013 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
01:038:014 And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
01:038:015 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
01:038:016 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
01:038:017 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
