Genesis 38:11-13

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹¹ Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow at your father’s house till Shelah my [youngest] son is grown; for he thought, Lest perhaps [if Shelah should marry her] he would die also, as his brothers did. So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.

¹² But later Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shuah, died; and when Judah was comforted, he went up to his sheepshearers at Timnath with his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

¹³ Then it was told Tamar, Listen, your father-in-law is going up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
