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.'
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,'
23 and Judah saith, 'Let her take to herself, lest we become despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.'
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.'
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.'
