Genesis 38:26 in Context — Genesis 38
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.
26 Então Judá os reconheceu, e disse: Mais justa é que eu, porquanto não a dei a Selá meu filho. E nunca mais a conheceu.
27 E aconteceu que ao tempo de dar à luz, eis que havia dois em seu ventre.
28 E sucedeu, quando dava à luz, que tirou a mão um, e a parteira tomou e amarrou à sua mão um fio de escarlate, dizendo: Este saiu primeiro.
