38:1 ¶
And it came to pass at that time that Judah{gr.Judas} went down from his brethren, and came as far as to a certain man of Adullam{gr.Odollam}, whose name was Iras. |
|
38:1 ¶
And it came to pass°
at that°
time,°
that Judah°
went down°°
from°°
his brethren,°
and turned°°
in°
to°
a certain°
Adullamite,°
whose name°
[was] Hirah.° |
38:2
And Judah{gr.Judas} saw there the daughter of a Canaanitish{gr.Chananitish} man, whose name was Sava; and he took her, and went in to her. |
|
38:2
And Judah°
saw°°
there°
a daughter°
of a certain°
Canaanite,°
whose name°
[was] Shuah;°
and he took°
her,°°
and went in°°
unto°
her. |
38:3
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er. |
|
38:3
And she conceived,°°
and bare°°
a son;°
and he called°°°
his name°
Er.° |
38:4
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Onon{gr.Aunan}. |
|
38:4
And she conceived°°
again,°
and bare°°
a son;°
and she called°°°
his name°
Onan.° |
38:5
And she again bore a son; and called his name, Shelah{gr.Selom}: and she was in Chasbi when she bore them. |
|
38:5
And she yet again°
conceived,°°
and bare°°
a son;°
and called°°°
his name°
Shelah:°
and he was°
at Chezib,°
when she bare°°
him. |
38:6
And Judah{gr.Judas} took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Tamar{gr.Thamar}. |
|
38:6
And Judah°
took°°
a wife°
for Er°
his firstborn,°
whose name°
[was] Tamar.° |
38:7
And Er, the first-born of Judah{gr.Judas}, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him. |
|
38:7
And Er,°
Judah's°
firstborn,°
was°
wicked°
in the sight°
of Yahweh;°
and Yahweh°
slew°°
him. |
38:8
And Judah{gr.Judas} said to Onon{gr.Aunan}, Go in to thy brother's wife, and marry her as her brother-in-law, and raise up seed to thy brother. |
|
38:8
And Judah°
said°°
unto Onan,°
Go in°°
unto°
thy brother's°
wife,°
and marry°°
her, and raise up°°
seed°
to thy brother.° |
38:9
And Onon{gr.Aunan}, knowing that the seed should not be his-- it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] upon the ground, so that he should not give seed to his brother's wife. |
|
38:9
And Onan°
knew°°
that°
the seed°
should not°
be°
his; and it came to pass,°
when°
he went in°°
unto°
his brother's°
wife,°
that he spilled°°
[it] on the ground,°
lest°
that he should give°°
seed°
to his brother.° |
38:10
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also. |
|
38:10
And the thing which°
he did°°
displeased°°°°
Yahweh:°
wherefore he slew°°
him also.° |
38:11
And Judah{gr.Judas} said to Tamar{gr.Thamar}, his daughter-in-law, Sit thou a widow in the house of thy father-in-law, until Shelah{gr.Selom} my son be grown; for he said, lest he also die as his brethren; and Tamar{gr.Thamar} departed, and sat in the house of her father. |
|
38:11
Then said°°
Judah°
to Tamar°
his daughter in law,°
Remain°°
a widow°
at thy father's°
house,°
till°
Shelah°
my son°
be grown:°°
for°
he said,°°
Lest peradventure°
he°
die°°
also,°
as his brethren°
[did]. And Tamar°
went°°°
and dwelt°°
in her father's°
house.° |
38:12 ¶
And the days were fulfilled, and Sava the wife of Judah{gr.Judas} died; and Judah{gr.Judas}, being comforted, went to them that sheared his sheep, himself and Iras his Shepherd the Adullamite{gr.Odollamite}, to Timnath{gr.Thamna}. |
|
38:12 ¶
And in process°°
of time°°
the daughter°
of Shuah°
Judah's°
wife°
died;°°
and Judah°
was comforted,°°
and went up°°
unto°
his sheepshearers°°°
to Timnath,°
he°
and his friend°
Hirah°
the Adullamite.° |
38:13
And it was told Tamar{gr.Thamar} his daughter-in-law, saying, Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath{gr.Thamna}, to shear his sheep. |
|
38:13
And it was told°°
Tamar,°
saying,°°
Behold°
thy father in law°
goeth up°°
to Timnath°
to shear°°
his sheep.° |
38:14
And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Enan{gr.Aenan}, which is in the way to Timnath{gr.Thamna}, for she saw that Shelah{gr.Selom} was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife. |
|
38:14
And she put°°
her widow's°
garments°
off°°
from°°
her, and covered°
her°°
with a vail,°
and wrapped herself,°°
and sat°
in°°
an open°°
place,°
which°
[is] by°
the way°
to Timnath;°
for°
she saw°°
that°
Shelah°
was grown,°°
and she°
was not°
given°°
unto him to wife.° |
38:15
And when Judah{gr.Judas} saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not. |
|
38:15
When Judah°
saw°
her,°°
he thought°°
her [to be] an harlot;°°
because°
she had covered°°
her face.° |
38:16
And he went out of his way to her, and said to her, Let me come in to thee; for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-law; and she said, What wilt thou give me if thou shouldest come in to me? |
|
38:16
And he turned°°
unto°
her by°
the way,°
and said,°°
Go to,°°
I pray thee,°
let me come in°°
unto°
thee; (for°
he knew°°
not°
that°
she°
[was] his daughter in law.)°
And she said,°°
What°
wilt thou give°°
me, that°
thou mayest come in°°
unto°
me? |
38:17
And he said, I will send thee a kid of the goats from my flock; and she said, [Well], if thou wilt give me an earnest, until thou send it. |
|
38:17
And he said,°°
I°
will send°°
[thee] a kid°°
from°
the flock.°
And she said,°°
Wilt thou give°°
[me] a pledge,°
till°
thou send°°
[it]? |
38:18
And he said, What is the earnest that I shall give thee? and she said, Thy ring, and thy bracelet, and the staff in thy hand; and he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him. |
|
38:18
And he said,°°
What°°
pledge°
shall I give°°
thee? And she said,°°
Thy signet,°
and thy bracelets,°
and thy staff°
that°
[is] in thine hand.°
And he gave°°
[it] her, and came in°°
unto°
her, and she conceived°°
by him. |
38:19
And she arose and departed, and took her veil from off her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. |
|
38:19
And she arose,°°
and went away,°°°
and laid by°°
her vail°
from°°
her, and put on°°
the garments°
of her widowhood.° |
38:20
And Judah{gr.Judas} sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his shepherd the Adullamite{gr.Odollamite}, to receive the pledge from the woman; and he found her not. |
|
38:20
And Judah°
sent°°°
the kid°°
by the hand°
of his friend°
the Adullamite,°
to receive°°
[his] pledge°
from the woman's°
hand:°°
but he found°
her°°
not.° |
38:21
And he asked the men of the place, Where is the harlot who was in Enan{gr.Aenan} by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot here. |
|
38:21
Then he asked°°°
the men°°
of that place,°
saying,°°
Where°
[is] the harlot,°
that°
[was] openly°°
by°
the way side?°
And they said,°°
There was°
no°
harlot°
in this°
[place]. |
38:22
And he returned to Judah{gr.Judas}, and said, I have not found her; and the men of the place say, There is no harlot here. |
|
38:22
And he returned°°
to°
Judah,°
and said,°°
I cannot°
find°°
her; and also°
the men°°
of the place°
said,°°
[that] there was°
no°
harlot°
in this°
[place]. |
38:23
And Judah{gr.Judas} said, Let her have them, but let us not be ridiculed; I sent this kid, but thou hast not found her. |
|
38:23
And Judah°
said,°°
Let her take°°
[it] to her, lest°
we be°
shamed:°
behold,°
I sent°°
this°
kid,°
and thou°
hast not°
found°°
her. |
38:24 ¶
And it came to pass after three months, that it was told Judah{gr.Judas}, saying, Tamar{gr.Thamar} thy daughter-in-law has grievously played the harlot, and behold she is with child by whoredom; and Judah{gr.Judas} said, Bring her out, and let her be burnt. |
|
38:24 ¶
And it came to pass°
about three°°
months°
after, that it was told°°
Judah,°
saying,°°
Tamar°
thy daughter in law°
hath played the harlot;°°
and also,°
behold,°
she [is] with child°
by whoredom.°
And Judah°
said,°°
Bring her forth,°°
and let her be burnt.°° |
38:25
And as they were bringing her, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, I am with child by the man whose these things are; and she said, See whose is this ring and bracelet and staff. |
|
38:25
When she°
[was] brought forth,°°
she°
sent°°
to°
her father in law,°
saying,°°
By the man,°
whose°
these°
[are, am] I°
with child:°
and she said,°°
Discern,°°
I pray thee,°
whose°
[are] these,°
the signet,°
and bracelets,°
and staff.° |
38:26
And Judah{gr.Judas} knew [them], and said, Tamar{gr.Thamar} is cleared rather than I, forasmuch as I gave her not to Shelah{gr.Selom} my son: and he knew her not again. |
|
38:26
And Judah°
acknowledged°°
[them], and said,°°
She hath been more righteous°°
than°
I; because°
that°°
I gave°°
her not°
to Shelah°
my son.°
And he knew°
her°°
again°°
no°
more.° |
38:27 ¶
And it came to pass when she was in labour, that she also had twins in her womb. |
|
38:27 ¶
And it came to pass°
in the time°
of her travail,°°
that, behold,°
twins°
[were] in her womb.° |
38:28
And it came to pass as she was bringing forth, one thrust forth his hand, and the midwife having taken hold of it, bound upon his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, This one shall come out first. |
|
38:28
And it came to pass,°
when she travailed,°°
that [the one] put out°°
[his] hand:°
and the midwife°°
took°°
and bound°°
upon°
his hand°
a scarlet thread,°
saying,°°
This°
came out°°
first.° |
38:29
And when he drew back his hand, then immediately came forth his brother; and she said, Why has the barrier been cut through because of thee? and she called his name, Pharez{gr.Phares}. |
|
38:29
And it came to pass,°
as he drew back°°
his hand,°
that, behold,°
his brother°
came out:°°
and she said,°°
How°
hast thou broken forth?°°
[this] breach°
[be] upon°
thee: therefore his name°
was called°°
Pharez.° |
38:30
And after this came forth his brother, on whose hand was the scarlet thread; and she called his name, Zerah{gr.Zara}. |
|
38:30
And afterward°
came out°°
his brother,°
that°
had the scarlet thread°
upon°
his hand:°
and his name°
was called°°
Zarah.° |
