Genesis 38:28-30

21st Century King James Version

²⁸ And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, “This came out first.”

²⁹ And it came to pass as he drew back his hand that, behold, his brother came out; and she said, “How hast thou broken forth? This breach be upon thee.” Therefore his name was called Perez [that is, A breach].

³⁰ And afterward came out his brother who had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
