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?"
18. He said, "What pledge shall I give you?" And she said, "Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
19. Then she arose and departed, and removed her veil and put on her widow's garments.
20. When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.
