Bereshis 38:12-14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
12 And in process of time the bat Shua, eshet Yehudah, died; and Yehudah was consoled, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnah, he and his re’a Chirah the Adulami.
13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Hinei, thy kham (father-in-law) goeth up to Timnah to shear his tzon.
14 And she put off her widow’s garments from her, and covered her with a tze’if (veil), and disguised herself, and sat at the crossroads which is on the derech to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him as isha.

Genesis 38:12-14
New International Version
12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua,(A) died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah,(B) to the men who were shearing his sheep,(C) and his friend Hirah the Adullamite(D) went with him.
13 When Tamar(E) was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”(F) 14 she took off her widow’s clothes,(G) covered herself with a veil(H) to disguise herself, and then sat down(I) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.(J) For she saw that, though Shelah(K) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.
