Genesis 38:23 in Context — Genesis 38

21 E perguntou aos homens daquele lugar, dizendo: Onde está a prostituta das águas junto ao caminho? E eles lhe disseram: Não esteve aqui prostituta.

22 Então ele se voltou a Judá, e disse: Não a achei; e também os homens do lugar disseram: Aqui não esteve prostituta.

23 E Judá disse: Tome ela dessas coisas para si, para que não sejamos menosprezados: eis que eu enviei este cabrito, e tu não a achaste.

24 E aconteceu que ao fim de uns três meses foi dado aviso a Judá, dizendo: Tamar tua nora cometeu imoralidade sexual, e além disso está grávida das promiscuidades. E Judá disse: Tirai-a, e seja queimada.

25 E ela quando a tiravam, enviou a dizer a seu sogro: Do homem a quem pertence estas coisas, estou grávida: e disse mais: Olha agora a quem pertence estas coisas, o anel, e o manto, e o bordão.
