Genesis 38:12-14
Good News Translation
12 After some time Judah's wife died. When he had finished the time of mourning, he and his friend Hirah of Adullam went to Timnah, where his sheep were being sheared. 13 Someone told Tamar that her father-in-law was going to Timnah to shear his sheep. 14 So she changed from the widow's clothes she had been wearing, covered her face with a veil, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim, a town on the road to Timnah. As she well knew, Judah's youngest son Shelah was now grown up, and yet she had not been given to him in marriage.

Genesis 38:12-14
New International Version
12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua,(A) died. When Judah had recovered from his grief, he went up to Timnah,(B) to the men who were shearing his sheep,(C) and his friend Hirah the Adullamite(D) went with him.
13 When Tamar(E) was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”(F) 14 she took off her widow’s clothes,(G) covered herself with a veil(H) to disguise herself, and then sat down(I) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.(J) For she saw that, though Shelah(K) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.
