Genesis 38:28-30

New Life Version

²⁸ While she was giving birth, one put out a hand. The nurse took his hand and tied a red string around it, saying, “This one came out first.” ²⁹ But when he pulled away his hand, his brother was born. Then she said, “What an opening you have made for yourself!” So he was given the name of Perez. ³⁰ After that, his brother came out with the red string around his hand. He was given the name Zerah.
