| [1]And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that JudahH3063 went downH3381 H8799from his brethrenH251, and turnedH5186 H8799in to a certainH376 AdullamiteH5726, whose nameH8034 was HirahH2437. |
[1]And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Judah goeth down from his brethren, and turneth aside unto a man, an Adullamite, whose name [is] Hirah; |
| [2]And JudahH3063 sawH7200 H8799there a daughterH1323 of a certainH376 CanaaniteH3669, whose nameH8034 was ShuahH7770; and he took herH3947 , H8799and went inH935 unto herH8799. |
[2]and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite, whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her. |
| [3]And she conceivedH2029 , H8799and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121; and he calledH7121 H8799his nameH8034 ErH6147. |
[3]And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his name Er; |
| [4]And she conceivedH2029 H8799again, and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121; and she calledH7121 H8799his nameH8034 OnanH209. |
[4]and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Onan; |
| [5]And she yet again conceivedH3254 , H8686and bareH3205 H8799a sonH1121; and calledH7121 H8799his nameH8034 ShelahH7956: and he was at ChezibH3580, when she bareH3205 himH8800. |
[5]and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him. |
| [6]And JudahH3063 tookH3947 H8799a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559. |
[6]And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her name [is] Tamar; |
| [7]And ErH6147, Judah'sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slewH4191 himH8686. |
[7]and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth put him to death. |
| [8]And JudahH3063 saidH559 H8799unto OnanH209, Go inH935 H8798unto thy brother'sH251 wifeH802, and marryH2992 H8761her, and raise upH6965 H8685seedH2233 to thy brotherH251. |
[8]And Judah saith to Onan, `Go in unto the wife of thy brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;' |
| [9]And OnanH209 knewH3045 H8799that the seedH2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, whenH518 he went inH935 H8802unto his brother'sH251 wifeH802, that he spilledH7843 H8765it on the groundH776, lestH1115 that he should giveH5414 H8800seedH2233 to his brotherH251. |
[9]and Onan knoweth that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's wife, that he hath destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to give seed to his brother; |
| [10]And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 H8804displeasedH3415[H8799] H5869the LORDH3068: wherefore he slewH4191 him alsoH8686. |
[10]and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death. |
| [11]Then saidH559 H8799JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughter in lawH3618, RemainH3427 H8798a widowH490 at thy father'sH1 houseH1004, till ShelahH7956 my sonH1121 be grownH1431 : H8799for he saidH559 , H8804Lest peradventure he dieH4191 H8799also, as his brethrenH251 did. And TamarH8559 wentH3212 H8799and dweltH3427 H8799in her father'sH1 houseH1004. |
[11]And Judah saith to Tamar his daughter-in-law, `Abide a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son groweth up;' for he said, `Lest he die -- even he -- like his brethren;' and Tamar goeth and dwelleth at her father's house. |
| [12]And in processH7235 H8799of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah'sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191 ; H8799and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162 , H8735and went upH5927 H8799unto his sheepshearersH1494[H8802] H6629to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726. |
[12]And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah, Judah's wife, dieth; and Judah is comforted, and goeth up unto his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to Timnath. |
| [13]And it was toldH5046 H8714TamarH8559, sayingH559 , H8800Behold thy father in lawH2524 goeth upH5927 H8802to TimnathH8553 to shearH1494 H8800his sheepH6629. |
[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 putH5493 her widow'sH491 garmentsH899 offH5493 H8686from her, and covered herH3680 H8762with a vailH6809, and wrapped herselfH5968 , H8691and sat inH3427 H8799an openH5869 placeH6607, which is by the wayH1870 to TimnathH8553; for she sawH7200 H8804that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431 , H8804and she was not givenH5414 H8738unto him to wifeH802. |
[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]When JudahH3063 saw herH7200 , H8799he thoughtH2803 H8799her to be an harlotH2181 ; H8802because she had coveredH3680 H8765her faceH6440. |
[15]And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for she hath covered her face, |
| [16]And he turnedH5186 H8799unto her by the wayH1870, and saidH559 , H8799Go toH3051 , H8798I pray thee, let me come inH935 H8799unto thee; (for he knewH3045 H8804not that she was his daughter in lawH3618.) And she saidH559 , H8799What wilt thou giveH5414 H8799me, that thou mayest come inH935 unto meH8799? |
[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 saidH559 , H8799I will sendH7971 H8762thee a kidH5795 H1423from the flockH6629. And she saidH559 , H8799Wilt thou giveH5414 H8799me a pledgeH6162, till thou sendH7971 itH8800? |
[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 saidH559 , H8799WhatH834 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 H8799thee? And she saidH559 , H8799Thy signetH2368, and thy braceletsH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thine handH3027. And he gaveH5414 H8799it her, and came inH935 H8799unto her, and she conceivedH2029 by himH8799. |
[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 aroseH6965 , H8799and went awayH3212 , H8799and laid byH5493 H8686her vailH6809 from her, and put onH3847 H8799the garmentsH899 of her widowhoodH491. |
[19]and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood. |
| [20]And JudahH3063 sentH7971 H8799the kidH1423 H5795by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 H8800his pledgeH6162 from the woman'sH802 handH3027: but he found herH4672 notH8804. |
[20]And Judah sendeth the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of the woman, and he hath not found her. |
| [21]Then he askedH7592 H8799the menH582 of that placeH4725, sayingH559 , H8800Where is the harlotH6948, that was openlyH5869 by the way sideH1870? And they saidH559 , H8799There was no harlotH6948 in this placeH2088. |
[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 returnedH7725 H8799to JudahH3063, and saidH559 , H8799I cannotH3808 findH4672 H8804her; and also the menH582 of the placeH4725 saidH559 , H8804that there was no harlot in this placeH6948. |
[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 JudahH3063 saidH559 , H8799Let her takeH3947 H8799it to her, lest we be shamedH937: behold, I sentH7971 H8804this kidH1423, and thou hast not foundH4672 herH8804. |
[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 came to pass about threeH7969 monthsH2320 after, that it was toldH5046 H8714JudahH3063, sayingH559 , H8800TamarH8559 thy daughter in lawH3618 hath played the harlotH2181 ; H8804and also, behold, she is with childH2030 by whoredomH2183. And JudahH3063 saidH559 , H8799Bring her forthH3318 , H8685and let her be burntH8313.[H8735] |
[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]When she was brought forthH3318 , H8716she sentH7971 H8804to her father in lawH2524, sayingH559 , H8800By the manH376, whose these are, am I with childH2030: and she saidH559 , H8799DiscernH5234 , H8685I pray thee, whose are these, the signetH2858, and braceletsH6616, and staffH4294. |
[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.' |
| [26]And JudahH3063 acknowledgedH5234 H8686them, and saidH559 , H8799She hath been more righteousH6663 H8804than I; because that I gaveH5414 H8804her not to ShelahH7956 my sonH1121. And he knew herH3045 H8800againH3254 no moreH8804. |
[26]And Judah discerneth and saith, `She hath been more righteous than I, because that I did not give her to Shelah my son;' and he hath not added to know her again. |
| [27]And it came to pass in the timeH6256 of her travailH3205 , H8800that, behold, twinsH8380 were in her wombH990. |
[27]And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo, twins [are] in her womb; |
| [28]And it came to pass, when she travailedH3205 , H8800that the one put outH5414 H8799his handH3027: and the midwifeH3205 H8764tookH3947 H8799and boundH7194 H8799upon his handH3027 a scarlet threadH8144, sayingH559 , H8800This came outH3318 H8804firstH7223. |
[28]and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that [one] giveth out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a scarlet thread, saying, `This hath come out first.' |
| [29]And it came to pass, as he drew backH7725 H8688his handH3027, that, behold, his brotherH251 came outH3318 : H8804and she saidH559 , H8799How hast thou broken forthH6555 ? H8804this breachH6556 be upon thee: therefore his nameH8034 was calledH7121 H8799PharezH6557. |
[29]And it cometh to pass as he draweth back his hand, that lo, his brother hath come out, and she saith, `What! thou hast broken forth -- on thee [is] the breach;' and he calleth his name Pharez; |
| [30]And afterwardH310 came outH3318 H8804his brotherH251, that had the scarlet threadH8144 upon his handH3027: and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 H8799ZarahH2226. |
[30]and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah. |
