Genesis 38:14-16
Darby Translation
14 And she put the garments of her widowhood off from her, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entry of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as wife.
15 And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.
16 And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Come, I pray thee, let me go in to thee; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in to me?

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute,(F) for she had covered her face. 16 Not realizing(G) that she was his daughter-in-law,(H) he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.”(I)
“And what will you give me to sleep with you?”(J) she asked.
