15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face. 16 He turned aside to her along the road and said, |Come on! I want to have sex with you.| (He did not realize it was his daughter-in-law.) She asked, |What will you give me in exchange for having sex with you?| 17 He replied, |I'll send you a young goat from the flock.| She asked, |Will you give me a pledge until you send it?| 18 He said, |What pledge should I give you?| She replied, |Your seal, your cord, and the staff that's in your hand.| So he gave them to her and had sex with her. She became pregnant by him. Genesis 38:15-18, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
