Genesis 38:25-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁵ It was while she was being brought out that she sent word to her father-in-law, saying, “I am pregnant by the man to whom these things belong.” She also said, “^(A)Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?” ²⁶ And Judah recognized them, and said, “^(B)She is more righteous than I, since ^(C)I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not ^[a]have relations with her again.

²⁷ It came about at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were ^(D)twins in her womb.
