Genesis 38:28-30
New King James Version
28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, “How did you break through? This breach be upon you!” Therefore his name was called (A)Perez.[a] 30 Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. And his name was called (B)Zerah.
