Genesis 38:12 in Context — Genesis 38

10 E desagradou aos olhos do SENHOR o que fazia, e também tirou a ele a vida.

11 E Judá disse a Tamar sua nora: Fica-te viúva em casa de teu pai, até que cresça Selá meu filho; porque disse: Para que não aconteça que morra ele também como seus irmãos. E foi-se Tamar, e ficou em casa de seu pai.

12 E passaram muitos dias, e morreu a filha de Sua, mulher de Judá; e Judá se consolou, e subia aos tosquiadores de suas ovelhas a Timna, ele e seu amigo Hira o adulamita.

13 E foi dado aviso a Tamar, dizendo: Eis que teu sogro sobe a Timna a tosquiar suas ovelhas.

14 Então tirou ela de sobre si as roupas de sua viuvez, e cobriu-se com um véu, e envolveu-se, e se pôs à porta das águas que estão junto ao caminho de Timna; porque via que havia crescido Selá, e ela não era dada a ele por mulher.
