Bereshis 38:25-27

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁵ When she was brought forth, she sent to her kham (father-in-law), saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child; and she said, Discern, now, whose are these, the chotam (signet), and the [signet neck] cord, and the staff.

²⁶ And Yehudah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more tzadekah than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah beni. And he knew her again no more.

²⁷ And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, hinei te’omim (twin boys) were in her beten.
