15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, since she had concealed her face. 16 So on the way, he turned aside, approached her, and said, |Come on! Let's have some sex!| But he didn't realize that he was talking to his own daughter-in-law. |What will you give me,| she asked, |in order to have sex with me?| 17 |I'll send you a young goat from the flock,| he responded. But she pressed him, asking, |What security will you put up until you've sent it?| 18 Then he asked, |What pledge do you want me to give you?| |Your signet ring, cord, and the staff in your hand,| she suggested. So he gave them to her, had sex with her, and she became pregnant by him. Genesis 38:15-18, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
