Genesis 38:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 Then Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be [a][b]shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
24 ¶ Now after three months, one told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the whore, and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with child. Then Judah said, Bring ye her forth and let her be [c]burnt.
25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man, unto whom these things pertain, am I with child: and said also, Look I pray thee, whose these are, the seal, and the cloak, and the staff.
