Genesis 38:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ Judah answered, “I will send you a young goat from my flock.”

She answered, “First give me ·something to keep as a deposit [a pledge] until you send the goat.”

¹⁸ Judah asked, “What do you want me to give you as a ·deposit [pledge]?”

Tamar answered, “Give me your ·seal [signet] and its cord, and give me your ·walking stick [staff; ^Call items that could identify a person].” So Judah gave these things to her. Then ·Judah and Tamar had sexual relations, and Tamar became pregnant [^Lhe went to her and she conceived]. ¹⁹ When ·Tamar went home [^Lshe got up and went], she took off the veil that covered her face and put on the clothes that showed she was a widow.
