Genesis 38:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “·Go back to live in your father’s house, and don’t marry [^LRemain a widow in your father’s house] until my young son Shelah grows up.” Judah was afraid that Shelah also would die like his brothers. So Tamar returned to her father’s home.

¹² After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. After Judah ·had gotten over his sorrow [^Lwas comforted], he went to Timnah [^Ca town south of Hebron] to his ·men who were cutting the wool from his sheep [^Lsheepshearers]. His friend Hirah from Adullam went with him. ¹³ Tamar learned that Judah, her father-in-law, was going to Timnah to cut the wool from his sheep.
