3 And on the east side [06924] toward the rising [04217] of the sun shall they of the standard [01714] of the camp [04264] of Judah [03063] pitch [02583] throughout their armies [06635]: and Nahshon [05177] the son [01121] of Amminadab [05992] shall be captain [05387] of the children [01121] of Judah [03063].
20 And the sons [01121] of Judah [03063] after their families [04940] were; of Shelah [07956], the family [04940] of the Shelanites [08024]: of Pharez [06557], the family [04940] of the Pharzites [06558]: of Zerah [02226], the family [04940] of the Zarhites [02227].
12 And the sons [01121] of Judah [03063]; Er [06147], and Onan [0209], and Shelah [07956], and Pharez [06557], and Zerah [02226]: but Er [06147] and Onan [0209] died [04191] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]. And the sons [01121] of Pharez [06557] were Hezron [02696] and Hamul [02538].
10 And in the vine [01612] were three [07969] branches [08299]: and it was as though it budded [06524], and her blossoms [05322] shot forth [05927]; and the clusters [0811] thereof brought forth ripe [01310] grapes [06025]:
29 And it came to pass, as he drew back [07725] his hand [03027], that, behold, his brother [0251] came out [03318]: and she said [0559], How hast thou broken forth [06555]? this breach [06556] be upon thee: therefore his name [08034] was called [07121] Pharez [06557].
30 And afterward [0310] came out [03318] his brother [0251], that had the scarlet thread [08144] upon his hand [03027]: and his name [08034] was called [07121] Zarah [02226].

10 By the breath [05397] of God [0410] frost [07140] is given [05414]: and the breadth [07341] of the waters [04325] is straitened [04164].
27 And it came to pass in the time [06256] of her travail [03205], that, behold, twins [08380] were in her womb [0990].

5 And I will fetch [03947] a morsel [06595] of bread [03899], and comfort ye [05582] your hearts [03820]; after that [0310] ye shall pass on [05674]: for therefore are ye come [05674] to [05921] your servant [05650]. And they said [01696], So do [06213], as thou hast said [0559].
14 And if a man [0376] take [03947] a wife [0802] and her mother [0517], it is wickedness [02154]: they shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784], both he and they; that there be no wickedness [02154] among [08432] you.
9 And the daughter [01323] of any [0376] priest [03548], if she profane [02490] herself by playing the whore [02181], she profaneth [02490] her father [01]: she shall be burnt [08313] with fire [0784].
23 If a damsel [05291] that is a virgin [01330] be betrothed [0781] unto an husband [0376], and a man [0376] find [04672] her in the city [05892], and lie [07901] with her;
24 Then ye shall bring [03318] them both [08147] out unto the gate [08179] of that city [05892], and ye shall stone [05619] them with stones [068] that they die [04191]; the damsel [05291], because [0834] [01697] she cried [06817] not, being in the city [05892]; and the man [0376], because [0834] [01697] he hath humbled [06031] his neighbour's [07453] wife [0802]: so thou shalt put away [01197] evil [07451] from among [07130] you.
20 But if this thing [01697] be true [0571], and the tokens of virginity [01331] be not found [04672] for the damsel [05291]:
21 Then they shall bring out [03318] the damsel [05291] to the door [06607] of her father's [01] house [01004], and the men [0582] of her city [05892] shall stone [05619] her with stones [068] that she die [04191]: because she hath wrought [06213] folly [05039] in Israel [03478], to play the whore [02181] in her father's [01] house [01004]: so shalt thou put [01197] evil [07451] away [01197] from among [07130] you.
24 And it came to pass about three [07969] months [02320] after, that it was told [05046] Judah [03063], saying [0559], Tamar [08559] thy daughter in law [03618] hath played the harlot [02181]; and also, behold, she is with child [02030] by whoredom [02183]. And Judah [03063] said [0559], Bring her forth [03318], and let her be burnt [08313].
25 When she was brought forth [03318], she sent [07971] to her father in law [02524], saying [0559], By the man [0376], whose these are, am I with child [02030]: and she said [0559], Discern [05234], I pray thee, whose are these, the signet [02858], and bracelets [06616], and staff [04294].
26 And Judah [03063] acknowledged [05234] them, and said [0559], She hath been more righteous [06663] than I; because that I gave [05414] her not to Shelah [07956] my son [01121]. And he knew her [03045] again [03254] no more.
22 And he returned [07725] to Judah [03063], and said [0559], I cannot [03808] find [04672] her; and also the men [0582] of the place [04725] said [0559], that there was no harlot [06948] in this place.
23 And Judah [03063] said [0559], Let her take [03947] it to her, lest we be shamed [0937]: behold, I sent [07971] this kid [01423], and thou hast not found [04672] her.
18 Thou shalt not bring [0935] the hire [0868] of a whore [02181], or the price [04242] of a dog [03611], into the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] for any vow [05088]: for even both [08147] these are abomination [08441] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
19 And she arose [06965], and went away [03212], and laid by [05493] her vail [06809] from her, and put on [03847] the garments [0899] of her widowhood [0491].
20 And Judah [03063] sent [07971] the kid [01423] [05795] by the hand [03027] of his friend [07453] the Adullamite [05726], to receive [03947] his pledge [06162] from the woman's [0802] hand [03027]: but he found her [04672] not.
21 Then he asked [07592] the men [0582] of that place [04725], saying [0559], Where is the harlot [06948], that was openly [05869] by the way side [01870]? And they said [0559], There was no harlot [06948] in this [02088] place.
15 When Judah [03063] saw her [07200], he thought [02803] her to be an harlot [02181]; because she had covered [03680] her face [06440].
16 And he turned [05186] unto her by the way [01870], and said [0559], Go to [03051], I pray thee, let me come in [0935] unto thee; (for he knew [03045] not that she was his daughter in law [03618].) And she said [0559], What wilt thou give [05414] me, that thou mayest come in [0935] unto me?
17 And he said [0559], I will send [07971] thee a kid [05795] [01423] from the flock [06629]. And she said [0559], Wilt thou give [05414] me a pledge [06162], till thou send [07971] it?
18 And he said [0559], What [0834] pledge [06162] shall I give [05414] thee? And she said [0559], Thy signet [02368], and thy bracelets [06616], and thy staff [04294] that is in thine hand [03027]. And he gave [05414] it her, and came in [0935] unto her, and she conceived [02029] by him.
34 And Zanoah [02182], and Engannim [05873], Tappuah [08599], and Enam [05879],
13 And it was told [05046] Tamar [08559], saying [0559], Behold thy father in law [02524] goeth up [05927] to Timnath [08553] to shear [01494] his sheep [06629].
14 And she put [05493] her widow's [0491] garments [0899] off [05493] from her, and covered her [03680] with a vail [06809], and wrapped herself [05968], and sat in [03427] an open [05869] place [06607], which is by the way [01870] to Timnath [08553]; for she saw [07200] that Shelah [07956] was grown [01431], and she was not given [05414] unto him to wife [0802].
12 And in process [07235] of time [03117] the daughter [01323] of Shuah [07770] Judah's [03063] wife [0802] died [04191]; and Judah [03063] was comforted [05162], and went up [05927] unto his sheepshearers [01494] [06629] to Timnath [08553], he and his friend [07453] Hirah [02437] the Adullamite [05726].
57 Cain [07014], Gibeah [01390], and Timnah [08553]; ten [06235] cities [05892] with their villages [02691]:
43 And Elon [0356], and Thimnathah [08553], and Ekron [06138],
10 And the border [01366] compassed [05437] from Baalah [01173] westward [03220] unto mount [02022] Seir [08165], and passed [05674] along unto the side [03802] of mount [02022] Jearim [03297], which is Chesalon [03693], on the north side [06828], and went down [03381] to Bethshemesh [01053], and passed on [05674] to Timnah [08553]:
