Genesis 38:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ Then he asked, “What pledge do you want me to give you?”

“Your signet ring, cord, and the staff in your hand,” she suggested. So he gave them to her, had sex with her, and she became pregnant by him. ¹⁹ Then she got up and left. Later, she took off her shawl and put on her mourning clothes.

²⁰ Later on, Judah sent his Adullamite friend to take her a young goat, intending to retrieve what he had put up as security from the woman, but he could not find her.
