Genesis 38:27-29

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁷ Now, when the time had come that she should give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.

²⁸ And when she was in labor, one put out his hand. And the midwife took and bound a red thread around his hand, saying, “This has come out first.”

²⁹ But when he drew his hand back again, lo, his brother came out; and the midwife said, “How have you broken through? A breach is upon you!” And his name was called “Perez”.
