Genesis 38:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Then she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat down in [a]Pethah-enam which is by the way to Timnah, because she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he judged her an whore: for she had covered her face.
16 And he turned to the way towards her, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee, (for he [b]knew not that she was his daughter-in-law.) And she answered, What wilt thou give me for to lie with me?
