Genesis 38:22
So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.

--------------------

Genesis 38:14
She took off her widow's clothing, and covering herself with her veil, she took her seat near Enaim on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was now a man, but she had not been made his wife.

Genesis 38:15
When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.

Genesis 38:16
And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?

Genesis 38:17
And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

Genesis 38:24
Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

Genesis 38:25
And while she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, The man whose property these things are, is the father of my child: say then, whose are this ring and this cord and this stick?

Genesis 38:26
Then Judah said openly that they were his, and said, She is more upright than I am, for I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he had no more connection with her.

Genesis 38:27
And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.

Genesis 38:28
And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

Genesis 38:29
But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.

Genesis 38:30
And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.
