Genesis 38:28-30
Good News Translation
28 While she was in labor, one of them put out an arm; the midwife caught it, tied a red thread around it, and said, “This one was born first.” 29 But he pulled his arm back, and his brother was born first. Then the midwife said, “So this is how you break your way out!” So he was named Perez.[a] 30 Then his brother was born with the red thread on his arm, and he was named Zerah.[b]
