1. And it came to pass H1961 at that H1931 time H6256 , that Judah H3063 went down H3381 from H4480 H854 his brethren H251 , and turned in H5186 to H5704 a certain H376 Adullamite H5726 , whose name H8034 was Hirah H2437 .
|
|
2. And Judas saw there the daughter of a Chananitish man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her.
|
2. And Judah H3063 saw H7200 there H8033 a daughter H1323 of a certain H376 Canaanite H3669 , whose name H8034 was Shuah H7770 ; and he took H3947 her , and went in H935 unto H413 her.
|
|
3. And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er.
|
3. And she conceived H2029 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and he called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Er H6147 .
|
|
4. And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Aunan.
|
4. And she conceived H2029 again H5750 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and she called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Onan H209 .
|
|
5. And she again bore a son; and called his name, Selom: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them.
|
5. And she yet again H5750 conceived H3254 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Shelah H7956 : and he was H1961 at Chezib H3580 , when she bore H3205 him.
|
|
6. And Judas took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Thamar.
|
6. And Judah H3063 took H3947 a wife H802 for Er H6147 his firstborn H1060 , whose name H8034 was Tamar H8559 .
|
|
7. And Er, the first-born of Judas, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him.
|
7. And Er H6147 , Judah H3063 's firstborn H1060 , was H1961 wicked H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 ; and the LORD H3068 slew H4191 him.
|
|
8. And Judas said to Aunan, Go in to thy brother’s wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother.
|
8. And Judah H3063 said H559 unto Onan H209 , Go in H935 unto H413 thy brother H251 's wife H802 , and marry H2992 her , and raise up H6965 seed H2233 to thy brother H251 .
|
|
9. And Aunan, knowing that the seed should not be his—it came to pass when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spilled it upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother’s wife.
|
9. And Onan H209 knew H3045 that H3588 the seed H2233 should not H3808 be H1961 his ; and it came to pass H1961 , when H518 he went in H935 unto H413 his brother H251 's wife H802 , that he spilled H7843 it on the ground H776 , lest H1115 that he should give H5414 seed H2233 to his brother H251 .
|
|
10. And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also.
|
10. And the thing which H834 he did H6213 displeased H7489 H5869 the LORD H3068 : wherefore he slew H4191 him also H1571 .
|
|
11. And Judas said to Thamar, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Selom my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Thamar departed, and sat in the house of her father.
|
11. Then said H559 Judah H3063 to Tamar H8559 his daughter H3618 -in-law, Remain H3427 a widow H490 at thy father H1 's house H1004 , till H5704 Shelah H7956 my son H1121 be grown H1431 : for H3588 he said H559 , Lest peradventure H6435 he H1931 die H4191 also H1571 , as his brethren H251 did . And Tamar H8559 went H1980 and dwelt H3427 in her father H1 's house H1004 .
|
|
12. And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judas died; and Judas, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Odollamite, to Thamna.
|
12. And in process of time H7235 H3117 the daughter H1323 of Shuah H7770 Judah H3063 's wife H802 died H4191 ; and Judah H3063 was comforted H5162 , and went up H5927 unto H5921 his sheepshearers H1494 H6629 to Timnath H8553 , he H1931 and his friend H7453 Hirah H2437 the Adullamite H5726 .
|
|
13. And it was told Thamar his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Thamna, to shear his sheep.
|
13. And it was told H5046 Tamar H8559 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 thy father H2524 -in-law goeth up H5927 to Timnath H8553 to shear H1494 his sheep H6629 .
|
|
14. And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Ænan, which is in the way to Thamna, for she saw that Selom was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.
|
14. And she put H5493 her widow H491 's garments H899 off from H4480 H5921 her , and covered H3680 her with a veil H6809 , and wrapped herself H5968 , and sat H3427 in an open H5879 place H6607 , which H834 is by H5921 the way H1870 to Timnath H8553 ; for H3588 she saw H7200 that H3588 Shelah H7956 was grown H1431 , and she H1931 was not H3808 given H5414 unto him to wife H802 .
|
|
15. And when Judas saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
|
15. When Judah H3063 saw H7200 her , he thought H2803 her to be a harlot H2181 ; because H3588 she had covered H3680 her face H6440 .
|
|
16. And he went out of Lit. turned his way to her his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me?
|
16. And he turned H5186 unto H413 her by H413 the way H1870 , and said H559 , Go to H3051 , I pray thee H4994 , let me come in H935 unto H413 thee; ( for H3588 he knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 she H1931 was his daughter H3618 -in-law.) And she said H559 , What H4100 wilt thou give H5414 me, that H3588 thou mayest come in H935 unto H413 me?
|
|
17. And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, Well, if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it.
|
17. And he said H559 , I H595 will send H7971 thee a kid H1423 H5795 from H4480 the flock H6629 . And she said H559 , Wilt thou give H5414 me a pledge H6162 , till H5704 thou send H7971 it ?
|
|
18. And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy Or, necklace bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
|
18. And he said H559 , What H4100 pledge H6162 shall I give H5414 thee? And she said H559 , Thy signet H2368 , and thy bracelets H6616 , and thy staff H4294 that H834 is in thine hand H3027 . And he gave H5414 it her , and came in H935 unto H413 her , and she conceived H2029 by him.
|
|
19. And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
|
19. And she arose H6965 , and went away H1980 , and laid by H5493 her veil H6809 from H4480 H5921 her , and put on H3847 the garments H899 of her widowhood H491 .
|
|
20. And Judas sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Odollamite, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not.
|
20. And Judah H3063 sent H7971 H853 the kid H1423 H5795 by the hand H3027 of his friend H7453 the Adullamite H5726 , to receive H3947 his pledge H6162 from the woman H802 's hand H4480 H3027 : but he found H4672 her not H3808 .
|
|
21. And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Ænan by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here.
|
21. Then he asked H7592 H853 the men H376 of that place H4725 , saying H559 , Where H346 is the harlot H6948 , that H1931 was openly H5879 by H5921 the way side H1870 ? And they said H559 , There was H1961 no H3808 harlot H6948 in this H2088 place .
|
|
22. And he returned to Judas, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here.
|
22. And he returned H7725 to H413 Judah H3063 , and said H559 , I cannot H3808 find H4672 her ; and also H1571 the men H376 of the place H4725 said H559 , that there was H1961 no H3808 harlot H6948 in this H2088 place .
|
|
23. And Judas said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her.
|
23. And Judah H3063 said H559 , Let her take H3947 it to her, lest H6435 we be H1961 shamed H937 : behold H2009 , I sent H7971 this H2088 kid H1423 , and thou H859 hast not H3808 found H4672 her.
|
|
24. And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judas, saying, Thamar thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judas said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt.
|
24. And it came to pass H1961 about three H4480 H7969 months H2320 after , that it was told H5046 Judah H3063 , saying H559 , Tamar H8559 thy daughter H3618 -in-law hath played the harlot H2181 ; and also H1571 , behold H2009 , she is with child H2030 by whoredom H2183 . And Judah H3063 said H559 , Bring her forth H3318 , and let her be burnt H8313 .
|
|
25. And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff.
|
25. When she H1931 was brought forth H3318 , she H1931 sent H7971 to H413 her father H2524 -in-law, saying H559 , By the man H376 , whose H834 these H428 are, am I H595 with child H2030 : and she said H559 , Discern H5234 , I pray thee H4994 , whose H4310 are these H428 , the signet H2858 , and bracelets H6616 , and staff H4294 .
|
|
26. And Judas knew them, and said, Thamar is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Selom my son: and he knew her not again.
|
26. And Judah H3063 acknowledged H5234 them , and said H559 , She hath been more righteous H6663 than H4480 I; because H3588 that H5921 H3651 I gave H5414 her not H3808 to Shelah H7956 my son H1121 . And he knew H3045 her again H3254 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
27. And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb.
|
27. And it came to pass H1961 in the time H6256 of her travail H3205 , that, behold H2009 , twins H8380 were in her womb H990 .
|
|
28. And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon hid hand a scarlet thread, saying, This one shall come out first.
|
28. And it came to pass H1961 , when she travailed H3205 , that the one put out H5414 his hand H3027 : and the midwife H3205 took H3947 and bound H7194 upon H5921 his hand H3027 a scarlet thread H8144 , saying H559 , This H2088 came out H3318 first H7223 .
|
|
29. And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Phares.
|
29. And it came to pass H1961 , as he drew back H7725 his hand H3027 , that, behold H2009 , his brother H251 came out H3318 : and she said H559 , How H4100 hast thou broken forth H6555 ? this breach H6556 be upon H5921 thee : therefore his name H8034 was called H7121 Pharez H6557 .
|
|
30. And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zara.
|
30. And afterward H310 came out H3318 his brother H251 , that H834 had the scarlet thread H8144 upon H5921 his hand H3027 : and his name H8034 was called H7121 Zarah H2226 .
