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.
