Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And he said, What ervon shall I give thee? And she said, Thy chotam (signet), and thy [signet neck] cord, and thy staff that is in thine yad. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

¹⁹ And she arose, and went away, and took off her tze’if from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

²⁰ And Yehudah sent the gedi izzim by the yad of his friend the Adulami, to get back his ervon from the yad haisha; but he found her not.
