Genesis 38:12-14
Legacy Standard Bible
12 And [a]after a considerable time, Shua’s daughter, the wife of Judah, died. Then Judah was comforted, and he went up to his sheepshearers at (A)Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 Then it was told to Tamar, “[b]Behold, your father-in-law is going up to (B)Timnah to shear his sheep.” 14 So she removed her widow’s garments from herself and (C)covered herself with a [c]veil and wrapped herself. And she sat at the entrance of [d]Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and (D)she had not been given to him as a wife.

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.
