01:038:019 And she arose, and went away, and laid
by her vail from her,
and
put on the garments of her widowhood.
01:038:020 And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his
friend the
Adullamite,
to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand:
but
he
found her not.
01:038:021 Then he asked the men of that place, saying,
Where is the
harlot,
that was openly by the way side? And they said,
There
was
no harlot in this place.
01:038:022 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot
find her; and
also
the men of the place said, that there was no harlot
in
this
place.
01:038:023 And Judah said, Let her take it to her,
lest we be shamed:
behold,
I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
01:038:024 And it came to pass about three months
after, that it was told
Judah,
saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the
harlot;
and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom.
And
Judah
said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
01:038:025 When she was brought forth, she sent to
her father in law,
saying,
By the man, whose these are, am I with child:
and she
said,
Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet,
and
bracelets,
and staff.
01:038:026 And Judah acknowledged them, and said,
She hath been more
righteous
than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my
son.
And he knew her again no more.
01:038:027 And it came to pass in the time of her
travail, that, behold,
twins
were in her womb.
01:038:028 And it came to pass, when she travailed,
that the one put out
his
hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his
hand a
scarlet
thread, saying, This came out first.
01:038:029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his
hand, that, behold,
his
brother came out: and she said, How hast thou
broken
forth?
this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was
called
Pharez.
01:038:030 And afterward came out his brother, that
had the scarlet
thread
upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
01:039:001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and
Potiphar, an officer
of
Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought
him of
the
hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down
thither.
01:039:002 And the lord was with Joseph, and
he was a prosperous man; and
he
was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
01:039:003 And his master saw that the lord was
with him, and that the
lord
made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
01:039:004 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and
he served him: and he
made
him overseer over his house, and all that he had he
put
into
his hand.
