And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?(Génesis 38:16)

And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.(Génesis 38:19)

And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.(Génesis 38:20)

Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.(Génesis 38:21)
