 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 passº
at thatº
time,º
that Judahº
went downºº
fromºº
his brethren,º
and turnedºº
inº
toº
a certainº
Adullamite,º
whose nameº
[was] Hirah.º |
 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 Judahº
sawºº
thereº
a daughterº
of a certainº
Canaanite,º
whose nameº
[was] Shuah;º
and he tookº
her,ºº
and went inºº
untoº
her. |
 38:3
And she conceived and bore a son, and called his name, Er. |
 38:3
And she conceived,ºº
and bareºº
a son;º
and he calledººº
his nameº
Er.º |
 38:4
And she conceived and bore a son again; and called his name, Onon{gr.Aunan}. |
 38:4
And she conceivedºº
again,º
and bareºº
a son;º
and she calledººº
his nameº
Onan.º |
 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 againº
conceived,ºº
and bareºº
a son;º
and calledººº
his nameº
Shelah:º
and he wasº
at Chezib,º
when she bareºº
him. |
 38:6
And Judah{gr.Judas} took a wife for Er his first-born, whose name was Tamar{gr.Thamar}. |
 38:6
And Judahº
tookºº
a wifeº
for Erº
his firstborn,º
whose nameº
[was] Tamar.º |
 38:7
And Er, the first-born of Judah{gr.Judas}, was wicked before the Lord; and God killed him. |
 38:7
And Er,º
Judah'sº
firstborn,º
wasº
wickedº
in the sightº
of Yahweh;º
and Yahwehº
slewºº
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 Judahº
saidºº
unto Onan,º
Go inºº
untoº
thy brother'sº
wife,º
and marryºº
her, and raise upºº
seedº
to thy brother.º |
 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 Onanº
knewºº
thatº
the seedº
should notº
beº
his; and it came to pass,º
whenº
he went inºº
untoº
his brother'sº
wife,º
that he spilledºº
[it] on the ground,º
lestº
that he should giveºº
seedº
to his brother.º |
 38:10
And his doing this appeared evil before God; and he slew him also. |
 38:10
And the thing whichº
he didºº
displeasedºººº
Yahweh:º
wherefore he slewºº
him also.º |
 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 saidºº
Judahº
to Tamarº
his daughter in law,º
Remainºº
a widowº
at thy father'sº
house,º
tillº
Shelahº
my sonº
be grown:ºº
forº
he said,ºº
Lest peradventureº
heº
dieºº
also,º
as his brethrenº
[did]. And Tamarº
wentººº
and dweltºº
in her father'sº
house.º |
 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 processºº
of timeºº
the daughterº
of Shuahº
Judah'sº
wifeº
died;ºº
and Judahº
was comforted,ºº
and went upºº
untoº
his sheepshearersººº
to Timnath,º
heº
and his friendº
Hirahº
the Adullamite.º |
 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 toldºº
Tamar,º
saying,ºº
Beholdº
thy father in lawº
goeth upºº
to Timnathº
to shearºº
his sheep.º |
 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 putºº
her widow'sº
garmentsº
offºº
fromºº
her, and coveredº
herºº
with a vail,º
and wrapped herself,ºº
and satº
inºº
an openºº
place,º
whichº
[is] byº
the wayº
to Timnath;º
forº
she sawºº
thatº
Shelahº
was grown,ºº
and sheº
was notº
givenºº
unto him to wife.º |
 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 Judahº
sawº
her,ºº
he thoughtºº
her [to be] an harlot;ºº
becauseº
she had coveredºº
her face.º |
 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 turnedºº
untoº
her byº
the way,º
and said,ºº
Go to,ºº
I pray thee,º
let me come inºº
untoº
thee; (forº
he knewºº
notº
thatº
sheº
[was] his daughter in law.)º
And she said,ºº
Whatº
wilt thou giveºº
me, thatº
thou mayest come inºº
untoº
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,ºº
Iº
will sendºº
[thee] a kidºº
fromº
the flock.º
And she said,ºº
Wilt thou giveºº
[me] a pledge,º
tillº
thou sendºº
[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,ºº
Whatºº
pledgeº
shall I giveºº
thee? And she said,ºº
Thy signet,º
and thy bracelets,º
and thy staffº
thatº
[is] in thine hand.º
And he gaveºº
[it] her, and came inºº
untoº
her, and she conceivedºº
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,ºº
and went away,ººº
and laid byºº
her vailº
fromºº
her, and put onºº
the garmentsº
of her widowhood.º |
 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 Judahº
sentººº
the kidºº
by the handº
of his friendº
the Adullamite,º
to receiveºº
[his] pledgeº
from the woman'sº
hand:ºº
but he foundº
herºº
not.º |
 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 askedººº
the menºº
of that place,º
saying,ºº
Whereº
[is] the harlot,º
thatº
[was] openlyºº
byº
the way side?º
And they said,ºº
There wasº
noº
harlotº
in thisº
[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 returnedºº
toº
Judah,º
and said,ºº
I cannotº
findºº
her; and alsoº
the menºº
of the placeº
said,ºº
[that] there wasº
noº
harlotº
in thisº
[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 Judahº
said,ºº
Let her takeºº
[it] to her, lestº
we beº
shamed:º
behold,º
I sentºº
thisº
kid,º
and thouº
hast notº
foundºº
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 passº
about threeºº
monthsº
after, that it was toldºº
Judah,º
saying,ºº
Tamarº
thy daughter in lawº
hath played the harlot;ºº
and also,º
behold,º
she [is] with childº
by whoredom.º
And Judahº
said,ºº
Bring her forth,ºº
and let her be burnt.ºº |
 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 sheº
[was] brought forth,ºº
sheº
sentºº
toº
her father in law,º
saying,ºº
By the man,º
whoseº
theseº
[are, am] Iº
with child:º
and she said,ºº
Discern,ºº
I pray thee,º
whoseº
[are] these,º
the signet,º
and bracelets,º
and staff.º |
 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 Judahº
acknowledgedºº
[them], and said,ºº
She hath been more righteousºº
thanº
I; becauseº
thatºº
I gaveºº
her notº
to Shelahº
my son.º
And he knewº
herºº
againºº
noº
more.º |
 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 passº
in the timeº
of her travail,ºº
that, behold,º
twinsº
[were] in her womb.º |
 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,º
when she travailed,ºº
that [the one] put outºº
[his] hand:º
and the midwifeºº
tookºº
and boundºº
uponº
his handº
a scarlet thread,º
saying,ºº
Thisº
came outºº
first.º |
 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,º
as he drew backºº
his hand,º
that, behold,º
his brotherº
came out:ºº
and she said,ºº
Howº
hast thou broken forth?ºº
[this] breachº
[be] uponº
thee: therefore his nameº
was calledºº
Pharez.º |
 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 afterwardº
came outºº
his brother,º
thatº
had the scarlet threadº
uponº
his hand:º
and his nameº
was calledºº
Zarah.º |
