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?
17 Il répondit: Je t’enverrai un chevreau de mon troupeau. Elle dit: Me donneras-tu un gage, jusqu’à ce que tu l’envoies?
18 Il répondit: Quel gage te donnerai-je? Elle dit: Ton cachet, ton cordon, et le bâton que tu as à la main. Il les lui donna. Puis il alla vers elle; et elle devint enceinte de lui.
19 Elle se leva, et s’en alla; elle ôta son voile, et remit ses habits de veuve.
20 Juda envoya le chevreau par son ami l’Adullamite, pour retirer le gage des mains de la femme. Mais il ne la trouva point.
