પછી આશરે ત્રણેક મહિના પછી યહૂદાને ખબર મળી કે, “તેની પુત્રવધૂ તામારે વ્યભિચાર કર્યો છે અને તે ગર્ભવતી થઈ છે.” યહૂદાએ કહ્યું, “તેને અહીં લાવો અને સળગાવી દો.”
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ३८:२४
लगभग तीन महीने के बाद यहूदा को यह समाचार मिला, “तेरी बहू तामार ने व्यभिचार किया है; वरन् वह व्यभिचार से गर्भवती भी हो गई है।” तब यहूदा ने कहा, “उसको बाहर ले आओ कि वह जलाई जाए।”

In context

22He returned to Judah, and said, “I haven’t found her; and also the men of the place said, ‘There has been no prostitute here.’”

23Judah said, “Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven’t found her.”

24About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute. Moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.” Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”

25When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man who owns these.” She also said, “Please discern whose these are—the signet, and the cords, and the staff.”

26Judah acknowledged them, and said, “She is more righteous than I, because I didn’t give her to Shelah, my son.” He knew her again no more.
