19 Then she got up, left, and took off her veil, dressing once again in the clothing she wore as a widow.
20 Judah sent the kid goat with his neighbor the Adullamite so he could take back the deposits from the woman, but he couldn’t find her.
21 He asked the locals of that place, "Where’s the consecrated worker who was at Enaim on the road?"But they said, "There’s no consecrated worker here."
22 So he went back to Judah and said, "I couldn’t find her. The locals even said, ‘There’s no holy woman here.’"
23 Judah said, "Let her keep everything so we aren’t laughed at. I did send this kid goat, but you couldn’t find her."
24 About three months later, Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has become a prostitute and is now pregnant because of it."And Judah said, "Bring her out so that she may be burned."
25 When she was brought out, she sent this message to her father-in-law, "I’m pregnant by the man who owns these things. See if you recognize whose seal, cord, and staff these are."
