Genesis 38:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Judah sent his friend the Adullamite with the goat to claim the pledge from the woman, but he could not find her. ²¹ He asked the men of that place, “Where is the temple prostitute who was in Enaim alongside the road?”

They answered, “There has never been a temple prostitute there.”

²² So he returned to Judah and said, “I did not find her. Even the men of that place said, ‘There has never been a temple prostitute there.’ ”
