King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And it came to pass[H1961] at that[H1931] time,[H6256] that Judah[H3063] went down[H3381] from[H4480] [H854] his brethren,[H251] and turned in[H5186] to[H5704] a certain[H376] Adullamite,[H5726] whose name[H8034] was Hirah.[H2437]

2. And Judah[H3063] saw[H7200] there[H8033] a daughter[H1323] of a certain[H376] Canaanite,[H3669] whose name[H8034] was Shuah;[H7770] and he took[H3947] her, and went in[H935] unto[H413] her.

3. And she conceived,[H2029] and bore[H3205] a son;[H1121] and he called[H7121] [H853] his name[H8034] Er.[H6147]

4. And she conceived[H2029] again,[H5750] and bore[H3205] a son;[H1121] and she called[H7121] [H853] his name[H8034] Onan.[H209]

5. And she yet again[H5750] conceived,[H3254] and bore[H3205] a son;[H1121] and called[H7121] [H853] his name[H8034] Shelah:[H7956] and he was[H1961] at Chezib,[H3580] when she bore[H3205] him.

6. And Judah[H3063] took[H3947] a wife[H802] for Er[H6147] his firstborn,[H1060] whose name[H8034] was Tamar.[H8559]

7. And Er,[H6147] Judah's[H3063] firstborn,[H1060] was[H1961] wicked[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD;[H3068] and the LORD[H3068] slew[H4191] him.

8. And Judah[H3063] said[H559] unto Onan,[H209] Go in[H935] unto[H413] thy brother's[H251] wife,[H802] and marry[H2992] her, and raise up[H6965] seed[H2233] to thy brother.[H251]

9. And Onan[H209] knew[H3045] that[H3588] the seed[H2233] should not[H3808] be[H1961] his; and it came to pass,[H1961] when[H518] he went in[H935] unto[H413] his brother's[H251] wife,[H802] that he spilled[H7843] it on the ground,[H776] lest[H1115] that he should give[H5414] seed[H2233] to his brother.[H251]

10. And the thing which[H834] he did[H6213] displeased[H7489] [H5869] the LORD:[H3068] wherefore he slew[H4191] him also.[H1571]

11. Then said[H559] Judah[H3063] to Tamar[H8559] his daughter-in-law,[H3618] Remain[H3427] a widow[H490] at thy father's[H1] house,[H1004] till[H5704] Shelah[H7956] my son[H1121] be grown:[H1431] for[H3588] he said,[H559] Lest peradventure[H6435] he[H1931] die[H4191] also,[H1571] as his brethren[H251] did. And Tamar[H8559] went[H1980] and dwelt[H3427] in her father's[H1] house.[H1004]

12. And in process of time[H7235] [H3117] the daughter[H1323] of Shuah[H7770] Judah's[H3063] wife[H802] died;[H4191] and Judah[H3063] was comforted,[H5162] and went up[H5927] unto[H5921] his sheepshearers[H1494] [H6629] to Timnath,[H8553] he[H1931] and his friend[H7453] Hirah[H2437] the Adullamite.[H5726]

13. And it was told[H5046] Tamar,[H8559] saying,[H559] Behold[H2009] thy father-in-law[H2524] goeth up[H5927] to Timnath[H8553] to shear[H1494] his sheep.[H6629]

14. And she put[H5493] her widow's[H491] garments[H899] off from[H4480] [H5921] her, and covered[H3680] her with a veil,[H6809] and wrapped herself,[H5968] and sat[H3427] in an open[H5879] place,[H6607] which[H834] is by[H5921] the way[H1870] to Timnath;[H8553] for[H3588] she saw[H7200] that[H3588] Shelah[H7956] was grown,[H1431] and she[H1931] was not[H3808] given[H5414] unto him to wife.[H802]

15. When Judah[H3063] saw[H7200] her, he thought[H2803] her to be a harlot;[H2181] because[H3588] she had covered[H3680] her face.[H6440]

16. And he turned[H5186] unto[H413] her by[H413] the way,[H1870] and said,[H559] Go to,[H3051] I pray thee,[H4994] let me come in[H935] unto[H413] thee; (for[H3588] he knew[H3045] not[H3808] that[H3588] she[H1931] was his daughter-in-law.)[H3618] And she said,[H559] What[H4100] wilt thou give[H5414] me, that[H3588] thou mayest come in[H935] unto[H413] me?

17. And he said,[H559] I[H595] will send[H7971] thee a kid[H1423] [H5795] from[H4480] the flock.[H6629] And she said,[H559] Wilt thou give[H5414] me a pledge,[H6162] till[H5704] thou send[H7971] it?

18. And he said,[H559] What[H4100] pledge[H6162] shall I give[H5414] thee? And she said,[H559] Thy signet,[H2368] and thy bracelets,[H6616] and thy staff[H4294] that[H834] is in thine hand.[H3027] And he gave[H5414] it her, and came in[H935] unto[H413] her, and she conceived[H2029] by him.

19. And she arose,[H6965] and went away,[H1980] and laid by[H5493] her veil[H6809] from[H4480] [H5921] her, and put on[H3847] the garments[H899] of her widowhood.[H491]

20. And Judah[H3063] sent[H7971] [H853] the kid[H1423] [H5795] by the hand[H3027] of his friend[H7453] the Adullamite,[H5726] to receive[H3947] his pledge[H6162] from the woman's[H802] hand:[H4480] [H3027] but he found[H4672] her not.[H3808]

21. Then he asked[H7592] [H853] the men[H376] of that place,[H4725] saying,[H559] Where[H346] is the harlot,[H6948] that[H1931] was openly[H5879] by[H5921] the way side?[H1870] And they said,[H559] There was[H1961] no[H3808] harlot[H6948] in this[H2088] place.

22. And he returned[H7725] to[H413] Judah,[H3063] and said,[H559] I cannot[H3808] find[H4672] her; and also[H1571] the men[H376] of the place[H4725] said,[H559] that there was[H1961] no[H3808] harlot[H6948] in this[H2088] place.

23. And Judah[H3063] said,[H559] Let her take[H3947] it to her, lest[H6435] we be[H1961] shamed:[H937] behold,[H2009] I sent[H7971] this[H2088] kid,[H1423] and thou[H859] hast not[H3808] found[H4672] her.

24. And it came to pass[H1961] about three[H4480] [H7969] months[H2320] after, that it was told[H5046] Judah,[H3063] saying,[H559] Tamar[H8559] thy daughter-in-law[H3618] hath played the harlot;[H2181] and also,[H1571] behold,[H2009] she is with child[H2030] by whoredom.[H2183] And Judah[H3063] said,[H559] Bring her forth,[H3318] and let her be burnt.[H8313]

25. When she[H1931] was brought forth,[H3318] she[H1931] sent[H7971] to[H413] her father-in-law,[H2524] saying,[H559] By the man,[H376] whose[H834] these[H428] are, am I[H595] with child:[H2030] and she said,[H559] Discern,[H5234] I pray thee,[H4994] whose[H4310] are these,[H428] the signet,[H2858] and bracelets,[H6616] and staff.[H4294]

26. And Judah[H3063] acknowledged[H5234] them, and said,[H559] She hath been more righteous[H6663] than[H4480] I; because[H3588] that[H5921] [H3651] I gave[H5414] her not[H3808] to Shelah[H7956] my son.[H1121] And he knew[H3045] her again[H3254] no[H3808] more.[H5750]

27. And it came to pass[H1961] in the time[H6256] of her travail,[H3205] that, behold,[H2009] twins[H8380] were in her womb.[H990]

28. And it came to pass,[H1961] when she travailed,[H3205] that the one put out[H5414] his hand:[H3027] and the midwife[H3205] took[H3947] and bound[H7194] upon[H5921] his hand[H3027] a scarlet thread,[H8144] saying,[H559] This[H2088] came out[H3318] first.[H7223]

29. And it came to pass,[H1961] as he drew back[H7725] his hand,[H3027] that, behold,[H2009] his brother[H251] came out:[H3318] and she said,[H559] How[H4100] hast thou broken forth?[H6555] this breach[H6556] be upon[H5921] thee: therefore his name[H8034] was called[H7121] Pharez.[H6557]

30. And afterward[H310] came out[H3318] his brother,[H251] that[H834] had the scarlet thread[H8144] upon[H5921] his hand:[H3027] and his name[H8034] was called[H7121] Zarah.[H2226]
