Genesis 38:14-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

14. So she removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

15. When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.

16. So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, "Here now, let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

17. He said, therefore, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, moreover, "Will you give a pledge until you send it?"
