← Genesis 38:22	Genesis 38:23 (KJV)	Genesis 38:24 →
And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in this [place].	And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.	And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
