— Genesis 38:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“And he returned to Judah, and said, I have not found her; and also the men of the place said, There hath been no prostitute here. ”
“He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'"”
“So he returned to Judah and said,“I couldn’t find her. Moreover, the men of the place said,‘There has been no cult prostitute here.’””
“He returned to Juda, and said to him: I have not found her; moreover, the men of that place said to me, that there never sat a harlot there.”
“So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.”
“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.”
And she arose and went away. And storing away the garments that she had taken up, she was clothed in the garments of her widowhood.
Then Judah sent a young goat by his shepherd, the Adullamite, so that he might receive the pledge that he had given to the woman. But, when he had not found her,
he questioned the men of that place: “Where is the woman who sat at the crossroad?” And they all responded, “There has been no harlot in this place.”
He returned to Judah, and he said to him: “I did not find her. Moreover, the men of that place told me that a prostitute had never sat there.”
Judah said: “Let her hold herself to blame. Certainly, she is not able to accuse us of a lie. I sent the young goat that I had promised, and you did not find her.”
And behold, after three months, they reported to Judah, saying, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has committed fornication and her abdomen appears to be enlarged.” And Judah said, “Produce her, so that she may be burned.”
But when she was led out to the punishment, she sent to her father-in-law, saying: “I conceived by the man to whom these things belong. Recognize whose ring, and bracelet, and staff this is.”
