15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face. 16 Since he didn't know she was his daughter-in-law, he approached her by the roadside and said, |Come on, let's sleep together!| She asked, |What will you pay to sleep with me?| 17 |I'll send you a young goat from the flock,| he answered. She said, |First give me something as a deposit until you send it.| 18 |What should I give you as a deposit?| he asked. |Your signet ring, its cord, and the shepherd's staff that's in your hand,| she answered. So he gave them to her. Then he slept with her, and she became pregnant. Genesis 38:15-18, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
