|And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
|And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
|
|Judah then said to Onan, "Marry your brother's wife, and do your levirate duty toward her, and raise up an heir for your brother."
|
|This is the first instance of the [[Levirate Law]], by which a man would marry his dead brother's wife, and the first son of that union would inherit the dead brother's estate.

|And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

|Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
|
|Now Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, "Live as a widow at your father's house, until Shelah has come of age." To himself he said, "I don't want him to die as well, as his brothers have." So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.

|And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
|
|Eventually the daughter of Shuah, the wife of Judah, died. Judah was consoled, and went up to his sheep-shearers, both he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite, toward [[Timnath]].
|
|Timnath would be the place where [[Judge (Bible)|Judge]] [[Samson]] would try to find a wife.

|And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
|
|She doffed her widow's weeds, and covered herself with a veil, and bedecked herself, and sat in the opening of Enaim on the Timnath road. She knew already that Shelah had come of age, and she had not been given to him as his wife.
|
|The "bedecking" implies putting on too much make-up and too many jewels.

|And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
|
|He turned aside to her by the roadside, and said, "Please grant that I may be intimate with you." (He did not know that this woman was his daughter-in-law.) She said, "What will you pay me for the privilege of being intimate with me?"

|And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

|
|He said, "What kind of security should I give you?" She said, "Your signet ring, your bracelets, and that rod in your hand." He gave her these things, and was intimatewith her, and she fell pregnant by him.

|Both parties to this sordid transaction are equally guilty.

|Three months later, this news was told to Judah: "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has committed prostitution, and worse yet, she has fallen pregnant through that prostitution." Judah said, "Bring her out here; she is to be burned alive."
