Genesis 38:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁶ And Judah acknowledged them and said, She has been more righteous and just than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he did not cohabit with her again.

²⁷ Now when the time came for her to be delivered, behold, there were twins in her womb.

²⁸ And when she was in labor, one baby put out his hand; and the midwife took his hand and bound upon it a scarlet thread, saying, This baby was born first.
