Genesis 38:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 It was told to Tamar, “[a]Behold, your father-in-law is going up to (A)Timnah to shear his sheep.” 14 So she [b]removed her widow’s garments and (B)covered herself with a [c]veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of [d]Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and (C)she had not been given to him as a wife. 15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.

New International Version
13 When Tamar(A) was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,”(B) 14 she took off her widow’s clothes,(C) covered herself with a veil(D) to disguise herself, and then sat down(E) at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.(F) For she saw that, though Shelah(G) had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.
15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute,(H) for she had covered her face.
