Genesis 38:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And he made his way towards her, and said, “Please, come let me lie with you.” For he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she answered, “What will you give me, to lie with me?”

¹⁷ Then he said, “I will send you a kid from the goats of the flock.” And she said, “If you will give me a pledge until you send it.”

¹⁸ Then he said, “What is the pledge that I shall give you?” And she answered, “Your signet and your cloak and your staff that is in your hand.” So, he gave it to her and lay with her; and she was with child by him.
