Genesis 38:12-14
New Century Version
12 After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah had gotten over his sorrow, he went to Timnah to his men who were cutting the wool from his sheep. His friend Hirah from Adullam went with him. 13 Tamar learned that Judah, her father-in-law, was going to Timnah to cut the wool from his sheep. 14 So she took off the clothes that showed she was a widow and covered her face with a veil to hide who she was. Then she sat down by the gate of Enaim on the road to Timnah. She did this because Judah’s younger son Shelah had grown up, but Judah had not made plans for her to marry him.

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.
