Genesis 38:14 in Context — Genesis 38
12 Les jours s’écoulèrent, et la fille de Schua, femme de Juda, mourut. Lorsque Juda fut consolé, il monta à Thimna, vers ceux qui tondaient ses brebis, lui et son ami Hira, l’Adullamite.
13 On en informa Tamar, et on lui dit: Voici ton beau-père qui monte à Thimna, pour tondre ses brebis.
14 Alors elle ôta ses habits de veuve, elle se couvrit d’un voile et s’enveloppa, et elle s’assit à l’entrée d’Énaïm, sur le chemin de Thimna; car elle voyait que Schéla était devenu grand, et qu’elle ne lui était point donnée pour femme.
15 Juda la vit, et la prit pour une prostituée, parce qu’elle avait couvert son visage.
16 Il l’aborda sur le chemin, et dit: Laisse-moi aller vers toi. Car il ne connut pas que c’était sa belle-fille. Elle dit: Que me donneras-tu pour venir vers moi?
