Genesis 38:25-27

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁵ As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “It was the owner of these who made me pregnant.” And she said, “Take note, please, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.”^{(A) 26} Then Judah acknowledged them and said, “She is more in the right than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not lie with her again.^(B)

²⁷ When the time of her delivery came, there were twins in her womb.
