Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.” ▼▼Or by prostitution
And Judah said, “Bring her out, and flet her be burned.” 25As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, gthe signet and the cord and the staff.” 26Then Judah identified them and said, h“She is more righteous than I, since iI did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not know her again.
