00:01.220 --> 00:04.980
And it came to pass at that time,
that Judah went down from his brethren,

00:05.300 --> 00:08.040
and turned into a certain Adolamite,
whose name was Hira.

00:08.480 --> 00:11.940
And Judah saw there a daughter of a
certain Canaanite, whose name was Shua.

00:12.340 --> 00:14.420
And he took her, and went in unto her.

00:14.740 --> 00:18.180
And she conceived, and bare a son,
and he called his name Ur.

00:18.760 --> 00:22.420
And she conceived again, and bare a son,
and she called his name Onan.

00:22.860 --> 00:26.200
And she yet again conceived, and bare a
son, and called his name Shelah.

00:26.300 --> 00:28.480
And he was at Kezob, when she bare him.

00:28.480 --> 00:32.520
And Judah took a wife for Ur, his
firstborn, whose name was Tamar.

00:32.940 --> 00:36.000
And Ur, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in
the sight of the Lord.

00:36.300 --> 00:37.360
And the Lord slew him.

00:37.580 --> 00:41.660
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy
brother's wife, and marry her,

00:42.060 --> 00:43.880
and raise up seed to thy brother.

00:44.180 --> 00:46.660
And Onan knew that the seed should not be
his.

00:46.880 --> 00:50.720
And it came to pass, when he went in unto
his brother's wife, that he spilled it on

00:50.720 --> 00:53.240
the ground, lest that he should give seed
to his brother.

00:53.800 --> 00:57.680
And the thing which he did displeased the
Lord, wherefore he slew him also.

00:58.500 --> 01:02.280
Then said Judah to Tamar his
daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at thy

01:02.280 --> 01:04.800
father's house, till Shelah my son be
grown.

01:05.060 --> 01:08.960
For he said, Lest peradventure he die
also, as his brethren did.

01:09.300 --> 01:11.580
And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's
house.

01:12.000 --> 01:15.300
And in process of time, the daughter of
Shuah, Judah's wife, died.

01:15.640 --> 01:19.120
And Judah was comforted, and went up unto
his sheep shearers to Timnath,

01:19.460 --> 01:21.400
he and his friend Hira the Adulamite.

01:21.660 --> 01:25.700
And it was told Tamar, saying,
Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to

01:25.700 --> 01:27.080
Timnath to shear his sheep.

01:27.640 --> 01:31.020
And she put her widow's garments off from
her, and covered her with a veil,

01:31.160 --> 01:35.000
and wrapped herself, and sat in an open
place, which is by the way to Timnath.

01:35.300 --> 01:38.940
For she saw that Shelah was grown,
and she was not given unto him to wife.

01:39.460 --> 01:42.960
When Judah saw her, he thought her to be
in harlot, because she had covered her

01:42.960 --> 01:43.320
face.

01:43.640 --> 01:48.020
And he turned unto her by the way,
and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come

01:48.020 --> 01:48.600
in unto thee.

01:48.880 --> 01:51.080
For he knew not that she was his
daughter-in-law.

01:51.360 --> 01:55.240
And she said, What wilt thou give me,
that thou mayest come in unto me?

01:55.500 --> 01:58.320
And he said, I will send thee a kid from
the flock.

01:58.540 --> 02:01.740
And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge,
till thou send it?

02:01.940 --> 02:04.540
And he said, What pledge shall I give
thee?

02:04.720 --> 02:09.260
And she said, Thy signet, and thy
bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine

02:09.260 --> 02:09.660
hand.

02:09.880 --> 02:13.480
And he gave it her, and came in unto her,
and she conceived by him.

02:13.880 --> 02:18.040
And she arose, and went away, and laid by
her veil from her, and put on the garments

02:18.040 --> 02:18.940
of her widowhood.

02:18.940 --> 02:23.020
And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his
friend the Adulamite, to receive his

02:23.020 --> 02:24.260
pledge from the woman's hand.

02:24.680 --> 02:25.580
But he found her not.

02:26.120 --> 02:29.500
Then he asked the men of that place,
saying, Where is the harlot that was

02:29.500 --> 02:30.940
openly by the wayside?

02:31.340 --> 02:34.060
And they said, There was no harlot in this
place.

02:34.220 --> 02:36.960
And he returned to Judah, and said,
I cannot find her.

02:37.100 --> 02:41.540
And also the men of the place said,
That there was no harlot in this place.

02:41.900 --> 02:45.220
And Judah said, Let her take it to her,
lest we be shamed.

02:45.860 --> 02:48.960
Behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not
found her.

02:49.680 --> 02:52.820
And it came to pass about three months
after, that it was told Judah,

02:52.960 --> 02:57.480
saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath
played the harlot, and also, behold,

02:57.680 --> 02:59.180
she is with child by whoredom.

02:59.600 --> 03:03.080
And Judah said, Bring her forth,
and let her be burnt.

03:03.520 --> 03:07.240
When she was brought forth, she sent to
her father-in-law, saying, By the man

03:07.240 --> 03:09.320
whose these are, am I with child.

03:09.560 --> 03:13.400
And she said, Discern, I pray thee,
whose are these, the signet, and

03:13.400 --> 03:14.600
bracelets, and staff?

03:14.600 --> 03:19.080
And Judah acknowledged them, and said,
She hath been more righteous than I,

03:19.900 --> 03:22.820
because that I gave her not to Shelah my
son.

03:23.500 --> 03:25.520
And he knew her again no more.

03:26.160 --> 03:29.920
And it came to pass in the time of her
travail, that, behold, twins were in her

03:29.920 --> 03:30.220
womb.

03:30.620 --> 03:33.960
And it came to pass when she travailed,
that the one put out his hand,

03:34.120 --> 03:37.520
and the midwife took and bound upon his
hand a scarlet thread, saying,

03:37.720 --> 03:38.760
This came out first.

03:39.180 --> 03:43.000
And it came to pass as he drew back his
hand, that, behold, his brother came out,

03:43.020 --> 03:45.360
and she said, How hast thou broken forth?

03:45.860 --> 03:47.160
this breach be upon thee.

03:47.660 --> 03:49.700
Therefore his name was called Phares.

03:50.040 --> 03:53.640
And afterward came out his brother,
that had the scarlet thread upon his hand.

03:53.880 --> 03:55.640
And his name was called Zerah.
