Genesis 38:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ “What shall I give you as a pledge?” he asked.

She answered, “Your seal with its cord and the walking stick you are carrying.” He gave them to her. Then they had intercourse, and she became pregnant. ¹⁹ Tamar went home, took off her veil, and put her widow's clothes back on.

²⁰ Judah sent his friend Hirah to take the goat and get back from the woman the articles he had pledged, but Hirah could not find her.
