1. וַיְהִי בָּעֵת הַהִוא וַיֵּרֶד יְהוּדָה מֵאֵת אֶחָיו וַיֵּט עַד־אִישׁ עֲדֻלָּמִי וּשְׁמוֹ חִירָה ׃
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 at that H1931 time H6256 , that Judah H3063 went down H3381 from H4480 H854 his brethren H251 , and turned in H5186 to H5704 a certain H376 Adullamite H5726 , whose name H8034 was Hirah H2437 .
|
|
2. וַיַּרְא־שָׁם יְהוּדָה בַּת־אִישׁ כְּנַעֲנִי וּשְׁמוֹ שׁוּעַ וַיִּקָּחֶהָ וַיָּבֹא אֵלֶיהָ ׃
|
2. And Judah H3063 saw H7200 there H8033 a daughter H1323 of a certain H376 Canaanite H3669 , whose name H8034 was Shuah H7770 ; and he took H3947 her , and went in H935 unto H413 her.
|
|
3. וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַיִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ עֵר ׃
|
3. And she conceived H2029 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and he called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Er H6147 .
|
|
4. וַתַּהַר עוֹד וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ אוֹנָן ׃
|
4. And she conceived H2029 again H5750 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and she called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Onan H209 .
|
|
5. וַתֹּסֶף עוֹד וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת־שְׁמוֹ שֵׁלָה וְהָיָה בִכְזִיב בְּלִדְתָּהּ אֹתוֹ ׃
|
5. And she yet again H5750 conceived H3254 , and bore H3205 a son H1121 ; and called H7121 H853 his name H8034 Shelah H7956 : and he was H1961 at Chezib H3580 , when she bore H3205 him.
|
|
6. וַיִּקַּח יְהוּדָה אִשָּׁה לְעֵר בְּכוֹרוֹ וּשְׁמָהּ תָּמָר ׃
|
6. And Judah H3063 took H3947 a wife H802 for Er H6147 his firstborn H1060 , whose name H8034 was Tamar H8559 .
|
|
7. וַיְהִי עֵר בְּכוֹר יְהוּדָה רַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיְמִתֵהוּ יְהוָה ׃
|
7. And Er H6147 , Judah H3063 's firstborn H1060 , was H1961 wicked H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 ; and the LORD H3068 slew H4191 him.
|
|
8. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה לְאוֹנָן בֹּא אֶל־אֵשֶׁת אָחִיךָ וְיַבֵּם אֹתָהּ וְהָקֵם זֶרַע לְאָחִיךָ ׃
|
8. And Judah H3063 said H559 unto Onan H209 , Go in H935 unto H413 thy brother H251 's wife H802 , and marry H2992 her , and raise up H6965 seed H2233 to thy brother H251 .
|
|
9. וַיֵּדַע אוֹנָן כִּי לֹּא לוֹ יִהְיֶה הַזָּרַע וְהָיָה אִם־בָּא אֶל־אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו וְשִׁחֵת אַרְצָה לְבִלְתִּי נְתָן־זֶרַע לְאָחִיו ׃
|
9. And Onan H209 knew H3045 that H3588 the seed H2233 should not H3808 be H1961 his ; and it came to pass H1961 , when H518 he went in H935 unto H413 his brother H251 's wife H802 , that he spilled H7843 it on the ground H776 , lest H1115 that he should give H5414 seed H2233 to his brother H251 .
|
|
10. וַיֵּרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיָּמֶת גַּם־אֹתוֹ ׃
|
10. And the thing which H834 he did H6213 displeased H7489 H5869 the LORD H3068 : wherefore he slew H4191 him also H1571 .
|
|
11. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה לְתָמָר כַּלָּתוֹ שְׁבִי אַלְמָנָה בֵית־אָבִיךְ עַד־יִגְדַּל שֵׁלָה בְנִי כִּי אָמַר פֶּן־יָמוּת גַּם־הוּא כְּאֶחָיו וַתֵּלֶךְ תָּמָר וַתֵּשֶׁב בֵּית אָבִיהָ ׃
|
11. Then said H559 Judah H3063 to Tamar H8559 his daughter H3618 -in-law, Remain H3427 a widow H490 at thy father H1 's house H1004 , till H5704 Shelah H7956 my son H1121 be grown H1431 : for H3588 he said H559 , Lest peradventure H6435 he H1931 die H4191 also H1571 , as his brethren H251 did . And Tamar H8559 went H1980 and dwelt H3427 in her father H1 's house H1004 .
|
|
12. וַיִּרְבּוּ הַיָּמִים וַתָּמָת בַּת־שׁוּעַ אֵשֶׁת־יְהוּדָה וַיִּנָּחֶם יְהוּדָה וַיַּעַל עַל־גֹּזֲזֵי צֹאנוֹ הוּא וְחִירָה רֵעֵהוּ הָעֲדֻלָּמִי תִּמְנָתָה ׃
|
12. And in process of time H7235 H3117 the daughter H1323 of Shuah H7770 Judah H3063 's wife H802 died H4191 ; and Judah H3063 was comforted H5162 , and went up H5927 unto H5921 his sheepshearers H1494 H6629 to Timnath H8553 , he H1931 and his friend H7453 Hirah H2437 the Adullamite H5726 .
|
|
13. וַיֻּגַּד לְתָמָר לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה חָמִיךְ עֹלֶה תִמְנָתָה לָגֹז צֹאנוֹ ׃
|
13. And it was told H5046 Tamar H8559 , saying H559 , Behold H2009 thy father H2524 -in-law goeth up H5927 to Timnath H8553 to shear H1494 his sheep H6629 .
|
|
14. וַתָּסַר בִּגְדֵי אַלְמְנוּתָהּ מֵעָלֶיהָ וַתְּכַס בַּצָּעִיף וַתִּתְעַלָּף וַתֵּשֶׁב בְּפֶתַח עֵינַיִם אֲשֶׁר עַל־דֶּרֶךְ תִּמְנָתָה כִּי רָאֲתָה כִּי־גָדַל שֵׁלָה וְהִוא לֹא־נִתְּנָה לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה ׃
|
14. And she put H5493 her widow H491 's garments H899 off from H4480 H5921 her , and covered H3680 her with a veil H6809 , and wrapped herself H5968 , and sat H3427 in an open H5879 place H6607 , which H834 is by H5921 the way H1870 to Timnath H8553 ; for H3588 she saw H7200 that H3588 Shelah H7956 was grown H1431 , and she H1931 was not H3808 given H5414 unto him to wife H802 .
|
|
15. וַיִּרְאֶהָ יְהוּדָה וַיַּחְשְׁבֶהָ לְזוֹנָה כִּי כִסְּתָה פָּנֶיהָ ׃
|
15. When Judah H3063 saw H7200 her , he thought H2803 her to be a harlot H2181 ; because H3588 she had covered H3680 her face H6440 .
|
|
16. וַיֵּט אֵלֶיהָ אֶל־הַדֶּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר הָבָה־נָּא אָבוֹא אֵלַיִךְ כִּי לֹא יָדַע כִּי כַלָּתוֹ הִוא וַתֹּאמֶר מַה־תִּתֶּן־לִּי כִּי תָבוֹא אֵלָי ׃
|
16. And he turned H5186 unto H413 her by H413 the way H1870 , and said H559 , Go to H3051 , I pray thee H4994 , let me come in H935 unto H413 thee; ( for H3588 he knew H3045 not H3808 that H3588 she H1931 was his daughter H3618 -in-law.) And she said H559 , What H4100 wilt thou give H5414 me, that H3588 thou mayest come in H935 unto H413 me?
|
|
17. וַיֹּאמֶר אָנֹכִי אֲשַׁלַּח גְּדִי־עִזִּים מִן־הַצֹּאן וַתֹּאמֶר אִם־תִּתֵּן עֵרָבוֹן עַד שָׁלְחֶךָ ׃
|
17. And he said H559 , I H595 will send H7971 thee a kid H1423 H5795 from H4480 the flock H6629 . And she said H559 , Wilt thou give H5414 me a pledge H6162 , till H5704 thou send H7971 it ?
|
|
18. וַיֹּאמֶר מָה הָעֵרָבוֹן אֲשֶׁר אֶתֶּן־לָּךְ וַתֹּאמֶר חֹתָמְךָ וּפְתִילֶךָ וּמַטְּךָ אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדֶךָ וַיִּתֶּן־לָּהּ וַיָּבֹא אֵלֶיהָ וַתַּהַר לוֹ ׃
|
18. And he said H559 , What H4100 pledge H6162 shall I give H5414 thee? And she said H559 , Thy signet H2368 , and thy bracelets H6616 , and thy staff H4294 that H834 is in thine hand H3027 . And he gave H5414 it her , and came in H935 unto H413 her , and she conceived H2029 by him.
|
|
19. וַתָּקָם וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתָּסַר צְעִיפָהּ מֵעָלֶיהָ וַתִּלְבַּשׁ בִּגְדֵי אַלְמְנוּתָהּ ׃
|
19. And she arose H6965 , and went away H1980 , and laid by H5493 her veil H6809 from H4480 H5921 her , and put on H3847 the garments H899 of her widowhood H491 .
|
|
20. וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוּדָה אֶת־גְּדִי הָעִזִּים בְּיַד רֵעֵהוּ הָעֲדֻלָּמִי לָקַחַת הָעֵרָבוֹן מִיַּד הָאִשָּׁה וְלֹא מְצָאָהּ ׃
|
20. And Judah H3063 sent H7971 H853 the kid H1423 H5795 by the hand H3027 of his friend H7453 the Adullamite H5726 , to receive H3947 his pledge H6162 from the woman H802 's hand H4480 H3027 : but he found H4672 her not H3808 .
|
|
21. וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־אַנְשֵׁי מְקֹמָהּ לֵאמֹר אַיֵּה הַקְּדֵשָׁה הִוא בָעֵינַיִם עַל־הַדָּרֶךְ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא־הָיְתָה בָזֶה קְדֵשָׁה ׃
|
21. Then he asked H7592 H853 the men H376 of that place H4725 , saying H559 , Where H346 is the harlot H6948 , that H1931 was openly H5879 by H5921 the way side H1870 ? And they said H559 , There was H1961 no H3808 harlot H6948 in this H2088 place .
|
|
22. וַיָּשָׁב אֶל־יְהוּדָה וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא מְצָאתִיהָ וְגַם אַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקוֹם אָמְרוּ לֹא־הָיְתָה בָזֶה קְדֵשָׁה ׃
|
22. And he returned H7725 to H413 Judah H3063 , and said H559 , I cannot H3808 find H4672 her ; and also H1571 the men H376 of the place H4725 said H559 , that there was H1961 no H3808 harlot H6948 in this H2088 place .
|
|
23. וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה תִּקַּח־לָהּ פֶּן נִהְיֶה לָבוּז הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי הַגְּדִי הַזֶּה וְאַתָּה לֹא מְצָאתָהּ ׃
|
23. And Judah H3063 said H559 , Let her take H3947 it to her, lest H6435 we be H1961 shamed H937 : behold H2009 , I sent H7971 this H2088 kid H1423 , and thou H859 hast not H3808 found H4672 her.
|
|
24. וַיְהִי כְּמִשְׁלֹשׁ חֳדָשִׁים וַיֻּגַּד לִיהוּדָה לֵאמֹר זָנְתָה תָּמָר כַּלָּתֶךָ וְגַם הִנֵּה הָרָה לִזְנוּנִים וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוּדָה הוֹצִיאוּהָ וְתִשָּׂרֵף ׃
|
24. And it came to pass H1961 about three H4480 H7969 months H2320 after , that it was told H5046 Judah H3063 , saying H559 , Tamar H8559 thy daughter H3618 -in-law hath played the harlot H2181 ; and also H1571 , behold H2009 , she is with child H2030 by whoredom H2183 . And Judah H3063 said H559 , Bring her forth H3318 , and let her be burnt H8313 .
|
|
25. הִוא מוּצֵאת וְהִיא שָׁלְחָה אֶל־חָמִיהָ לֵאמֹר לְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־אֵלֶּה לּוֹ אָנֹכִי הָרָה וַתֹּאמֶר הַכֶּר־נָא לְמִי הַחֹתֶמֶת וְהַפְּתִילִים וְהַמַּטֶּה הָאֵלֶּה ׃
|
25. When she H1931 was brought forth H3318 , she H1931 sent H7971 to H413 her father H2524 -in-law, saying H559 , By the man H376 , whose H834 these H428 are, am I H595 with child H2030 : and she said H559 , Discern H5234 , I pray thee H4994 , whose H4310 are these H428 , the signet H2858 , and bracelets H6616 , and staff H4294 .
|
|
26. וַיַּכֵּר יְהוּדָה וַיֹּאמֶר צָדְקָה מִמֶּנִּי כִּי־עַל־כֵּן לֹא־נְתַתִּיהָ לְשֵׁלָה בְנִי וְלֹא־יָסַף עוֹד לְדַעְתָּהּ ׃
|
26. And Judah H3063 acknowledged H5234 them , and said H559 , She hath been more righteous H6663 than H4480 I; because H3588 that H5921 H3651 I gave H5414 her not H3808 to Shelah H7956 my son H1121 . And he knew H3045 her again H3254 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
27. וַיְהִי בְּעֵת לִדְתָּהּ וְהִנֵּה תְאוֹמִים בְּבִטְנָהּ ׃
|
27. And it came to pass H1961 in the time H6256 of her travail H3205 , that, behold H2009 , twins H8380 were in her womb H990 .
|
|
28. וַיְהִי בְלִדְתָּהּ וַיִּתֶּן־יָד וַתִּקַּח הַמְיַלֶּדֶת וַתִּקְשֹׁר עַל־יָדוֹ שָׁנִי לֵאמֹר זֶה יָצָא רִאשֹׁנָה ׃
|
28. And it came to pass H1961 , when she travailed H3205 , that the one put out H5414 his hand H3027 : and the midwife H3205 took H3947 and bound H7194 upon H5921 his hand H3027 a scarlet thread H8144 , saying H559 , This H2088 came out H3318 first H7223 .
|
|
29. וַיְהִי כְּמֵשִׁיב יָדוֹ וְהִנֵּה יָצָא אָחִיו וַתֹּאמֶר מַה־פָּרַצְתָּ עָלֶיךָ פָּרֶץ וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ פָּרֶץ ׃
|
29. And it came to pass H1961 , as he drew back H7725 his hand H3027 , that, behold H2009 , his brother H251 came out H3318 : and she said H559 , How H4100 hast thou broken forth H6555 ? this breach H6556 be upon H5921 thee : therefore his name H8034 was called H7121 Pharez H6557 .
|
|
30. וְאַחַר יָצָא אָחִיו אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ הַשָּׁנִי וַיִּקְרָא שְׁמוֹ זָרַח ׃ ס
|
30. And afterward H310 came out H3318 his brother H251 , that H834 had the scarlet thread H8144 upon H5921 his hand H3027 : and his name H8034 was called H7121 Zarah H2226 .
