Genesis 38:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ Judah recognized them and said, “She is more ·in the right [righteous] than I. She did this because I did not give her to my son Shelah as I promised.” And Judah did not ·have sexual relations with [^Lknow; 4:1] her again.

²⁷ When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her ·body [^Lwomb]. ²⁸ While she was ·giving birth [in labor], one baby put his hand out. The ·nurse [midwife] tied a ·red [crimson] string on his hand and said, “This baby came out first.”
