²⁴ ¶ Now after three months, one told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the whore, and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with child. Then Judah said, Bring ye her forth and let her be ^[a]burnt.

²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, unto whom these things pertain, am I with child: and said also, Look I pray thee, whose these are, the seal, and the cloak, and the staff.

²⁶ Then Judah knew them, and said, She is ^[b]more righteous than I: for she hath done it because I gave her not to Shelah my son. So he lay with her ^[c]no more.
