15When Judah saw her he took her to be a loose woman of the town, because her face was covered.
16And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?
17And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?
18And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.
19Then she got up and went away and took off her veil and put on her widow's clothing.
20Then Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat, to get back the things which he had given as a sign to the woman: but she was not there.
21And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.
