Genesis 38:17-19
New International Version
17 “I’ll send you a young goat(A) from my flock,” he said.
“Will you give me something as a pledge(B) until you send it?” she asked.
18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?”
“Your seal(C) and its cord, and the staff(D) in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.(E) 19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow’s clothes(F) again.
