Genesis 38:14-16

Contemporary English Version

¹⁴ She also realized that Shelah was now a grown man, but she had not been allowed to marry him. So she decided to dress in something other than her widow's clothes and to cover her face with a veil. After this, she sat outside the town of Enaim on the road to Timnah.

¹⁵ When Judah came along, he did not recognize her because of the veil. He thought she was a prostitute ¹⁶ and asked her to sleep with him. She asked, “What will you give me if I do?”
