Selected verse

Tamar was told, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”

14

She took off the garments of her widowhood, and covered herself with her veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gate of Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she wasn’t given to him as a wife.

16

She said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
