Genesis 38:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And she put off the garments of her widowhood, and took a veil: and changing her dress, sat in the cross way, that leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was grown up, and she had not been married to him.

¹⁵ When Juda saw her, he thought she was a harlot: for she had covered her face, lest she should be known.

¹⁶ And going to her, he said: Suffer me to lie with thee: for he knew her not to be his daughter in law. And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company?
