Matthew Chapter 24
24:1And Yahshua went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
24:2And Yahshua said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
24:3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.
24:6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
24:13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
24:14And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
24:16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
24:21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
24:24For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25Behold, I have told you before.
24:26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
24:27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
24:32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
24:33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
24:34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
24:35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
24:36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
24:37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
24:39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Master doth come.
24:43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
24:44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
24:45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
24:46Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing.
24:47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;
24:49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
24:50The master of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
24:1And Yahshua went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
24:2And Yahshua said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
24:3And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
24:4And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
24:5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.
24:6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
24:7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
24:8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
24:9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
24:10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
24:11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
24:12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
24:13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
24:14And this good news of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
24:15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
24:16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
24:17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
24:18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
24:19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
24:20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
24:21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
24:22And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
24:23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Messiah, or there; believe it not.
24:24For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
24:25Behold, I have told you before.
24:26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
24:27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
24:32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
24:33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
24:34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
24:35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
24:36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
24:37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
24:39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
24:40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Master doth come.
24:43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
24:44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
24:45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
24:46Blessed is that servant, whom his master when he cometh shall find so doing.
24:47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
24:48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master delayeth his coming;
24:49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
24:50The master of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
24:51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Proverb Chapter 24
24:1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
24:2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
24:3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
24:4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
24:5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
24:6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
24:7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
24:8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
24:9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
24:10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
24:11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
24:12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
24:13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
24:14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
24:15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
24:16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
24:17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
24:18Lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
24:19Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked;
24:20For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
24:21My son, fear thou Yahweh and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
24:22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
24:23These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
24:24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
24:25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
24:26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
24:27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
24:28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
24:29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
24:30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
24:31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
24:32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
24:33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
24:34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
24:1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
24:2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
24:3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
24:4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
24:5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
24:6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
24:7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
24:8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
24:9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
24:10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
24:11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
24:12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
24:13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
24:14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
24:15Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
24:16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
24:17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

24:26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
24:27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
24:28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
24:29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
24:30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
24:31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
24:32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
24:33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
24:34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
Genesis Chapter 37 & 38
37:1And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
37:2These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
37:3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
37:4And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
37:5And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
37:6And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
37:7For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
37:8And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
37:9And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
37:10And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
37:11And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
37:12And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
37:13And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
37:14And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
37:15And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
37:16And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
37:17And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
37:18And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
37:19And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
37:20Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
37:21And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
37:22And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
37:23And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
37:24And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
37:25And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
37:26And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
37:27Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
37:28Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
37:29And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
37:30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
37:31And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
37:32And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
37:33And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
37:34And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
37:35And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
37:36And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
37:1And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
37:2These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
37:3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
37:4And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
37:5And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
37:6And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
37:7For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
37:8And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
37:9And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
37:10And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
37:11And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
37:12And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
37:13And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
37:14And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
37:15And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

37:30And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
37:31And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
37:32And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
37:33And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
37:34And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

37:36And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
Genesis Chapter 38
38:1And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
38:2And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
38:3And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
38:4And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
38:5And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
38:6And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
38:7And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh slew him.
38:8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
38:9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
38:10And the thing which he did displeased Yahweh: wherefore he slew him also.
38:11Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
38:12And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
38:13And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
38:14And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
38:15When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
38:16And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
38:17And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
38:18And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
38:19And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
38:20And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
38:21Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
38:22And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
38:23And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
38:24And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
38:25When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
38:26And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
38:27And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
38:28And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
38:29And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
38:30And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
38:1And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
38:2And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
38:3And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
38:4And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
38:5And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
38:6And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
38:7And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Yahweh; and Yahweh slew him.
38:8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
38:9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
38:10And the thing which he did displeased Yahweh: wherefore he slew him also.
38:11Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
38:12And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
38:13And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
38:14And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
