Yahweh; and Yahweh is putting him to death. 8 and Judah is saying to Onan: come
to woman of your brother! And levirate her! And raise seed for your brother! 9
and Onan is knowing, that not to him the seed shall become; and it became, when
he came to woman of his brother, and ruined earth ward; to so as not to give
seed to his brother. 10 and it is being evil in eyes of Yahweh, which he did;
and he is putting to death moreover him. 11 and Judah is saying to Thamar, his
daughter in law: dwell widow house of your father until Shelah shall be grown,
my son! That he said: lest he is dying, moreover he, as his brothers; and Thamar
is going and dwelling house of her father. 12 and the days are increasing, and
she is dying, daughter of Shua, woman of Judah; and Judah
is being consoled, and going up on shearing of his flock; he and Hirah, his associate, the Adullamite,
Timnah ward. 13 and it is being told to Thamar to
say: behold, your husband's father going up, Timnah
ward, to shear his flock! 14 and she is taking away garments of her widowhood
from on her, and covering in the veil, and bedecking herself; and sitting in
opening of Enaim, which on way of Timnah
ward; that she saw, that Shelah was grown, and she not she was given to him for
woman. 15 and Judah is seeing her, and accounting her to prostitute, that she
covered her faces. 16 and he is turning aside to her to the way, and saying:
grant, please, I shall come to you! That not he knew, that his daughter in law she;
and she is saying: what you shall give to me, that you shall come to me? 17 and
he is saying: I shall send kid of goats, from the flock; and she is saying: if
you are giving surety until to send of you. 18 and he is saying: what the
surety, which I shall give to you? And she is saying: your seal and twist and
rod, which in your hand; and he is giving to her; and he is coming to her, and
she is becoming pregnant to him. 19 and she is rising and going and taking away
her veil from on her; and she is putting on garments of her widowhood. 20 and Judah
is sending kid of the goats in hand of his associate, the Adullamite;
to take the surety from hand of the woman; and not he found her. 21 and he is
asking mortals of place of her to say: where the hallowed prostitute she in the
Enaim on the way? And they are saying: not hallowed
prostitute became in this. 22 and he is returning to Judah and saying: not I
found her; and moreover mortals of the place said: not hallowed prostitute
became in this. 23 and Judah is saying: she shall take to her; lest we are
becoming to contempt; behold, I sent this kid and not you found her! 24 and it
is becoming, as from three of months, and it is being told to Judah, to say: Thamar,
your daughter in law, committed prostitution; and moreover, behold, pregnant to
prostitutions! And Judah is saying: bring her forth, and she shall be burned!
25 she being brought forth, and she sent to her husband's father, to say: to
man, who these; to him I pregnant; and she is saying: identify, please! To whom
these seal and twist and rod? 26 and Judah is recognizing and saying: she is
righteous from me, that on so not I gave her to Shelah, my son; and not he
added further, to know her. 27 and it is becoming in time to give birth her,
and, behold, twins in her belly. 28 and it is becoming in to give birth her,
and he is putting out hand; and the one being midwife is taking and tying on his
hand double dipped token; to say: this one came forth first. 29 and it is
becoming, as to return his hand; and, behold, his brother came forth; and she
is saying: what you breached! On you breach; and he is calling his name:
Pharez. 30 and afterward his brother came forth, who on his hand the double
