Genesis 38:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ After she left, she took off her veil. She put on her widow’s clothes again.

²⁰ Judah sent his friend Hirah with the young goat he had promised. He wanted to get back what he had given to the woman. But his friend Hirah couldn’t find her. ²¹ He asked the men who lived at Enaim, “Where’s the temple prostitute? She used to sit beside the road here.”

“There hasn’t been any temple prostitute here,” they said.
