20And Iudah sent the kidde by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the womans hand: but he found her not. 21Then hee 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. 22And he returned to Iudah, and said, I cannot finde her: and also the men of the place said, That there was no harlot in this place. 23And Iudah said, Let her take it to her, lest we bee shamed: behold, I sent this kidde, and thou hast not found her. 24¶ And it came to passe about three moneths after, that it was tolde Iudah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot, and also behold, she is with child by whoredom: and Iudah said, Bring her foorth, and let her be burnt.
