Key Passages
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered.But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
“What pledge should I give you?” he asked.She answered, “Your seal and your cord, and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
Now when Judah sent his friend Hirah the Adullamite with the young goat to collect the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.
