Genesis 38:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ As she was being taken out, she sent word to her father-in-law: “I am pregnant by the man who owns these things. Look at them and see whose they are—this seal with its cord and this walking stick.”

²⁶ Judah recognized them and said, “She is in the right. I have failed in my obligation to her—I should have given her to my son Shelah in marriage.” And Judah never had intercourse with her again.

²⁷ When the time came for her to give birth, it was discovered that she was going to have twins.
