Chap. XXXVIII.
Iudas hauing three sonnes by a Chananite. 6. marieth the first, and after his
death, the second to Thamar. 10. Who also dying, he delayeth to match
the third with her. 15. But him selfe begetteth of her (taking her for a
harlote) two sonnes twinnes, Phares and Zara.
1 The note same time Iudas going downe from his brethren,
turned in to a man an Odollamite, named Hiras.
2 And
he sawe there the daughter of a man of Chanaan, called
Sue: and taking her to wife, he did companie with her.
3 Who conceaued, and bare a sonne, and called his name
Her.
4 And conceauing a childe againe, she called her sonne
after he was borne, Onan.
5 She bare also the third: whom
she called Sela, after whose birth, she ceased to beare any
more.
6 And Iudas gaue a wife to Her his first begotten,
named Thamar.
7 Also Her the first begotten of Iudas,
was wicked in the sight of our Lord: and was slaine of him.
8 Iudas therfore said to Onan his sonne: companie with
thy brothers wife, and be ioyned to her, that thou mayest
09Q0087 rayse seede to thy brother.
9 He knowing that the children
should not be borne to himselfe, companying with his
brothers wife, shed his seede vpon the ground, lest children
might be borne in his brothers name.
10 And therfore our
Lord stroke him, because he did a detestable thing.
11 For
the which cause Iudas said to Thamar his daughter in lawe:
Be a widowe in thy fathers house, til Sela my sonne growe
vp: for he feared lest he also might dye, as his brethren. Who
went her way and dwelt in her fathers house.
12 And after
many dayes were come and gone: the daughter of Sue the
wife of Iudas died: who after his mourning hauing receiued
consolation, went vp to the shearers of his sheepe,
himselfe and Hiras his shepheard of his flocke, the Odolamite,
into Thamnas.
13 And it was told note Thamar that her
father in law came vp into. Thamnas to sheare his sheepe.
14 Who putting of the garments of her widowhood, tooke
a veile: and changing her habite, sate in the crosse way, that
leadeth to Thamnas: because Sela was growne, and she had
not taken him to her husband.
15 Whom when Iudas had

seene, he supposed her to be an harlot: for she had couered
her face, lest she should be knowen.
16 And going vnto
her, he said: Suffer me to lye with thee: for he knew her
not to be his daughter in law. Who answering: What wilt
thou geue me that thou maiest enioy my companie?
17 He
said: I wil send thee a kid out of the flockes. And when she
said againe: I wil suffer that thou wilt, if thou geue me a
pledge, til thou send that which thou doest promise;
18 Iudas said: What wilt thou to be geuen thee for a pledge?
She answered: Thy ring, and bracelet, and staffe which
thou holdest in thy hand. The woman therfore by once
companying conceaued,
19 and rising she went her way: and
putting of the apparel which she had taken, put on the garments
of her widowhood.
20 And Iudas sent a kid by his
shephard the Odolamite, that he might receiue the pledge
againe, which he had geuen to the woman: who when he
had not found her,
21 he asked the men of that place: Where
is the woman that sate in the crosse way? Al making answere:
There was no harlot in this place.
22 He returned to Iudas,
and said to him: I haue not found her: yea the men also
of that place said vnto me, that there neuer sate harlot there.
23 Iudas said: Let her take it to her, surely she can not charge
vs with a lye, I sent the kid which I promised: and thou
didest not find her.
24 And behold after three moneths they
told Iudas, saying: Thamar thy daughter in law hath played
the harlot, and her bellie semeth to swel. And Iudas said:
Bring her forth note that she may be burnt.
25 Who when she
was led to execution, she sent to her father in law, saying:
By that man, whose these things are, haue I conceaued:
looke whose the ring is, and the bracelet, and the staffe.
26 Who acknowledging the giftes, said: She is iuster then I:
because I did not geue her to Sela my sonne. But he knew her
no more.
27 And when she was readie to be brought to bed,
there appeared twinnes in her bellie: and in the verie deliuerie
of the infants, one put forth the hand, wherin the
midwife tyed a skarlet string, saying:
28 This shal come
forth the former.
29 But he drawing backe his hand, the other
came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition
diuided for thee? and for this cause called his name Phares.
30 Afterward his brother came forth, in whose hand was the
skarelet string: whom she called Zara.
