- Qadının olduğu yerin adamlarından soruşdu: «Enayimdə yol kənarında olan fahişə haradadır?» Onlar dedilər: «Burada fahişə yoxdur».
- O, Yəhudanın yanına qayıdıb dedi: «Onu tapa bilmədim. O yerin adamları da “burada fahişə yoxdur” dedilər».
- Yəhuda dedi: «Qoy bu şeylər onunku olsun, ancaq biz bu işdən rüsvay olmayaq. Bax mən bu oğlağı ona göndərdim, amma sən onu tapmadın».
- Bundan təxminən üç ay sonra Yəhudaya bildirdilər: «Gəlinin Tamar zina edib, həm də bu zinadan hamilə qalıb». Yəhuda dedi: «Onu çıxarıb yandırın».
- O bayıra çıxarıldığı zaman qayınatasına xəbər göndərib dedi: «Mən bu şeylərin sahibi olan adamdan hamilə qaldım». Sonra dedi: «Bax gör, bu möhür, qaytan və əsa kimindir?»

- He asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?" But they said, "There has been no temple prostitute here."
- So he returned to Judah, and said, "I did not find her; and furthermore, the men of the place said, 'There has been no temple prostitute here.'"
- Then Judah said, "Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."
- Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry." Then Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"
- It was while she was being brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "I am with child by the man to whom these things belong." And she said, "Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?"
