Genesis 38:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ She had already been brought out when she sent this message to her father-in-law: “The man to whom these objects belong is the father of the child.” She continued, “Do you know to whom this signet ring, cord, and staff belong?”

²⁶ Judah recognized them and said, “She is innocent and I am guilty, for I did not give her my son Shelah.” And he did not sleep with her again.

²⁷ When her time to give birth arrived, it was discovered that she had twins in her womb.
