King James Version with Apocrypha
"And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her."
— Genesis 38:23, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.”
“And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be put to shame: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. ”
“Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven't found her."”
“Judah said,“Let her keep the things for herself. Otherwise we will appear to be dishonest. I did indeed send this young goat, but you couldn’t find her.””
“Juda said: Let her take it to herself, surely she cannot charge us with a lie, I sent the kid which I promised: and thou didst not find her.”
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand: but he found her not.
Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
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 Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
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 burnt.
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 staff.
And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
