Genesis 38:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 38:14

12 Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah’s wife, died; and Judah ^awas comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, “Look, your father-in-law is going up ^ato Timnah to shear his sheep.”

14 So she took off her widow’s garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and ^asat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw ^bthat Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had covered her face.

16 Then he turned to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in to you”; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”

17 And he said, ^a“I will send a young goat from the flock.” So she said, ^b“Will you give me a pledge till you send it?”
