← Genesis 38:27	Genesis 38:28 (KJV)	Genesis 38:29 →
And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins [were] in her womb.	And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one] put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.	And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
