Genesis 38:27-30
-
27 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
-
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.
-
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.
-
30 And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
