The King James Version Bible

Genesis 38:14-17

  1. 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.

  2. When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

  3. 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?

  4. 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?
