Genesis 38:20 in Context — Genesis 38
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.
21 Il interrogea les gens du lieu, en disant: Où est cette prostituée qui se tenait à Énaïm, sur le chemin? Ils répondirent: Il n’y a point eu ici de prostituée.
22 Il retourna auprès de Juda, et dit: Je ne l’ai pas trouvée, et même les gens du lieu ont dit: Il n’y a point eu ici de prostituée.
