1About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
“And it came about at that time that Judah departed from his brothers and visited a certain Adolamite whose name was”
2There Judah saw the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua, and he took her as a wife and slept with her.
“And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua and he took her and went in unto her.”
“and Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. And he took her and went in unto her”
“Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shur and he took her and went in to her.”
“And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shewa, and he took her and went in unto her.”
“Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua. He took her and went on to her.”
3So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
“So she conceived and bore a son and he called his name”
4Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
“she conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.”
“Then she conceived again and bore a son and named him Onan.”
“She conceived again Thank you and bore a son and she called his name Onan”
5Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
“she bore still another son and named him Shelah. And it was at Chezib that she bore him.”
“and she Yet again conceived and bore a son and called his name Sheila and he was at Chizub which when she bore him”
“And she conceived and bare a son and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezeb when she bare him.”
“She yet again conceived and bear a son and called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezeb when she bare him.”
6Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
“And Judah took a wife for Ur, his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.”
“and Judah took a wife for her his firstborn whose name was Tamar”
“Now Judas took a wife for her, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.”
“And Judah took a wife for Ur, his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.”
7But Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
“But Ur Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the Lord and the Lord killed him.”
“But Ur, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord took his life.”
“And Ur, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord slew him.”
“and her Judah's firstborn was wicked in the sight of the Lord and the Lord slew him.”
“And Ur, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord slew him.”
8Then Judah said to Onan, "Sleep with your brother's wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother."
“And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.”
“Then Judah said to Onan, go in to your brother's wife and perform your duty as a brother -in -law to her and raise up offspring for your brother.”
“and Judah said to Onan, go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother.”
“and Anycase Judah said unto Onan go in to thy brother's wife and Marry her and raise up seed to thy brother.”
9But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother's wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
“But Onan knew that the heir would not be his. And it came to pass when he went into his brother's wife that he admitted on the ground lest he should give an heir to His brother”
“knew that the seed should not be his and it came to pass when he went in unto his brother's wife that he spilled it on the ground his seed lest that he should give seed to his brother”
“And Onan knew that the seed should not be his. And it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.”
10What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
“and the thing which he did displeased the Lord therefore he killed him also.”
“And the thing which he did displeased the Lord, wherefore he slew him also.”
“And the thing which he did displeased the Lord. Wherefore he slew him also.”
“But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord, so he took his life also.”
“and the thing which he did displease the Lord wherefore he slew him also”
“And then the thing which he did displeased the Lord, wherefore he slew him also.”
11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Live as a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up." For he thought, "He may die too, like his brothers." So Tamar went to live in her father's house.
“Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter -in -law, Remain a widow in thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown. For he said, lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.”
“Then said Judah to Tamar, his daughter -in -law, remain a widow at thy father's house till Sheila, my son, be grown. For he said, lest peradventure he die also, and his brethren did, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt…”
“Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter -in -law remain a widow at thy father's house Till Shala thy son actually my son be grown for he said lest perhaps he die also as his brethren did and Tamar Went and dwelt in her father's…”
“Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter -in -law, Remain a widow at your father's house till Shelah my son be grown. For he said, Lest perventure he die also, as his brothers did. And Tamar went and dwelt at her father's house.”
12After a long time Judah's wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
“Now in the process of time. The daughter of Shua Judah's wife died and Judah was comforted and went up to his sheep shearers at Timnah. He and his friend Hilrah the Adullamite.”
“Now after a considerable time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died. And when the time of mourning was ended, Judah went up to his sheep shearers at Temna. He and his friend Hira the Adolamite.”
13When Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep,"
“And it was told Tamar saying look your father -in -law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
“it was told to Tamar, behold your father -in -law is going up to Temna to shear his sheep.”
“And it was told Tamar saying behold thy father -in -law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep”
“it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, thy father -in -law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.”
“And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, your father -in -law is going up to Timnath to share his sheep.”
“And it was told Tamar saying behold thy father -in -law goeth up to Timnah to shear sheep”
14she removed her widow's garments, covered her face with a veil to disguise herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
“So she removed her widow's garments, and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Temna. For she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as…”
“And she put her widow's garments off from her, covered her with a veil, wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is, by the way, the Timnath. For she saw that Sheua was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.”
“and she put off her widow's garments from offer and covered her with a veil and wrapped herself and sat in an open place which is by the way to Timnath for she saw that Sheila was grown and she was not given. She was not given…”
15When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face.
“when Judah saw her he thought she was a harlot because she had covered her face.”
“When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.”
“When Judah saw her he thought her to be a harlot because she had covered her face”
“When Judah saw her he thought her to be a harlot because she had covered her face”
“when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot because she had covered her face.”
“when judah saw her he thought she was a harlot for she had kata kalupto her face.”
16Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her and said, "Come now, let me sleep with you." "What will you give me for sleeping with you?" she inquired.
“So he turned aside to her by the road, and said here now, let me come in to you. For he did not know that she was his daughter -in -law, and she said what will you give me, that you may come in to me.”
“Then he turned by her to her by the way and said please let me come in to you for he did not know that. She was his daughter -in -law. So she said what will you give me that you may come in to me?”
“and he turned unto her by the Way and said come I pray thee. Let me come in unto thee for he knew not that she was his daughter -in -law. And she said what wilt thou give me that thou mayest come in unto me”
17"I will send you a young goat from my flock," Judah answered. But she replied, "Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it."
“And he said I will send thee a kid from the flock and she said wilt thou give me a pledge till thou send it.”
“And he said, I'll send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge till thou send it?”
“He said I will send you a young goat from the flock and she said will you give me a pledge till you send it?”
“He said therefore, I will send you a kid from the flock. She said moreover, will you give a pledge until you send it.”
18"What pledge should I give you?" he asked. She answered, "Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand." So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
“he said what pledge shall I give you. And she said your seal, and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand. So he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.”
19Then Tamar got up and departed. And she removed her veil and put on her widow's garments again.
“so she rose and went away and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood”
“Then she arose and departed, and removed her veil, and put on her widow's garments.”
“And she arose and went away and laid by her veil from her and put on the garments of her widowhood”
“She arose and went away, and laid by her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.”
“and She arose and went away and laid off her veil from her and put back on the garments of her widowhood.”
20Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
“And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend, the Adulamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he found her not.”
“and Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adolamite to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he found her not.”
“and Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend. He do am I to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.”
“When Judah sent the kid by his friend, the Adolamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.”
21He asked the men of that place, "Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim?" "No shrine prostitute has been here," they answered.
“he asked the men of her place, saying where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim. But they said there has been no temple prostitute here.”
“Then he asked the men of that place saying where is the harlot who is openly by the roadside? They said there was no harlot in this place.”
22So Hirah returned to Judah and said, "I could not find her, and furthermore, the men of that place said, 'No shrine prostitute has been here.'"
“And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her. And also the men of the place said that there was no harlot in this place.”
“So he returned to Judah and said I did not find her. And furthermore the men of the place said there has been no temple prostitute here.”
“returned to Judah and said I cannot find her and also the men of the place Said that there was no harlot in this place”
“And he returned to Judah and said I cannot find her. And also the men of that place said that there was no harlot in this place.”
23"Let her keep the items," Judah replied. "Otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you could not find her."
“And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be ashamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.”
24About three months later, Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and now she is pregnant." "Bring her out!" Judah replied. "Let her be burned to death!"
“And it came to pass, about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar, thy daughter -in -law, hath played the harlot. And also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be…”
“Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed your daughter -in -law Tamar has played the harlot. And behold she is also with child by harlotry. Then Judah said bring her out and let her be burned.”
“And it came to pass about three months after that that it was told Judah saying you know Tamar your daughter -in -law hath played the harlot and also behold she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said bring her forth and let…”
“And it came to pass about three months later? That it was told Judah saying Tamar thy daughter -in -law hath played the harlot and also behold. She is with child by harlotry. This is three months later. Okay, and Judah said bring…”
25As she was being brought out, Tamar sent a message to her father-in-law: "I am pregnant by the man to whom these items belong." And she added, "Please examine them. Whose seal and cord and staff are these?"
“when she was brought forth, she sent to her father -in -law saying, by the man whose these are, am I with child? And she said, discern, I pray thee, whose are these? The signet and bracelets and stuff.”
“When she was brought out she sent to her father -in -law saying by the man to whom these belong I am with child and she said please determine who these whose these are the signet and cord and staff.”
“It was while she was being brought out that she sent her father -in -law saying I am with child by the man to whom these things belong. And she said please examine and see. Whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?”
“when she was brought forth. She sent her father -in -law saying by the man whose these are am I with child? And she said discern. I pray thee whose are these the signet the bracelets and the staff?”
26Judah recognized the items and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not have relations with her again.
“So Judah acknowledged them and said she has been more righteous than I because I did not give her to Sheila my son. And he never knew her again.”
“And Judah acknowledged them and said, She hath been more righteous than I, because that I gave her not to Sheolah my son, and he knew her gain no more.”
“Judah recognized them and said she is more righteous than I. In as much as I did not give her to my son Shelah. And he did not have relations with her again.”
“And Judah acknowledged them and he said she has been more righteous than I because that I gave her not to Sheila my son and he knew her again. No more.”
27When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
“it came about at the time she was giving birth that behold there were twins in her womb.”
“it came to pass in the time of her travail, that behold, twins were in her womb.”
“It came to pass in the time of her travail that, behold, twins were in her womb.”
“It came to pass in the time of her travail that behold twins were in her womb”
“And it came to pass, verse 27, in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.”
“it came to pass in the time of her travel, that behold, twins were in her womb.”
28And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. "This one came out first," she announced.
“Moreover it took place while she was giving birth. One put out a hand and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand saying this one came out first.”
“And it came to pass when she travailed, that the one put out his hand, the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, this came out first.”
“and it came to pass that she traveled that the one put out his hand and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread saying this one came out first.”
“moreover, it took place while she was giving birth that one put out a hand and the midwife took and tied a solid thread on his hand saying this one came out first.”
“and It came to pass when she travailed that one put forth his hand and the midwife took it and bound his upon his hand a Scarlet thread saying this came out first”
29But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, "You have broken out first!" So he was named Perez.
“But it came about as he drew back his hand that behold his brother came out. Then she said what a breach you have made for yourself. So he was named Perez”
“And it came to pass as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out. And she said, how hast thou broken forth? This breach be upon thee. Therefore, his name was called Phares.”
“And it came to pass as he drew his hand back in, that behold, his brother came out. And she said, how hast thou broken forth? This breach be upon thee. Therefore, his name was called”
“and It came to pass as he drew back his hand that behold his brother came out, and she said how hast thou? broken forth. This breach be upon thee. Therefore his name is called Perez”
“Came to pass as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out, and she said, How hast thou broken forth? This breach is upon thee. Therefore, his name was called Phares,”
30Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
“afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand and he was named Zerah.”
“and afterward came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and his name was called Zerah.”
“and Afterward came out his brother which had the scarlet thread upon his hand and his name was called Sarah.”
“And afterward came out his brother that had the scarlet thread upon his hand and his name is called Zara.”
