Genesis 38:22-24

Good News Translation

²² He returned to Judah and said, “I couldn't find her. The men of the place said that there had never been a prostitute there.”

²³ Judah said, “Let her keep the things. We don't want people to laugh at us. I did try to pay her, but you couldn't find her.”

²⁴ About three months later someone told Judah, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has been acting like a whore, and now she is pregnant.”

Judah ordered, “Take her out and burn her to death.”
