13. And it is declared to Tamar, saying, `Lo, thy husband's father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;'
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.
15. And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face,
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?'
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]?'
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;
19. and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood.
