Genesis 38:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ And he turned unto her on the wayside and said, “Come, 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?”

¹⁷ And he said, “I will send thee a kid from the flock.” And she said, “Wilt thou give me a pledge until thou send it?”

¹⁸ 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 to her and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
