Genesis 38:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute because she had covered her face. ¹⁶ Since he didn’t know she was his daughter-in-law, he approached her by the roadside and said, “Come on, let’s sleep together!”

She asked, “What will you pay to sleep with me?”

¹⁷ “I’ll send you a young goat from the flock,” he answered.

She said, “First give me something as a deposit until you send it.”
