Then the PhilistinesH6430 went upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in JudahH3063, and spreadH5203 themselves in LehiH3896.
And the menH376 of JudahH3063 saidH559, Why are ye come upH5927 against us? And they answeredH559, To bindH631 SamsonH8123 are we come upH5927, to doH6213 to him as he hath doneH6213 to us.
Then threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063 wentH3381 to the topH5585 of the rockH5553 EtamH5862, and saidH559 to SamsonH8123, KnowestH3045 thou not that the PhilistinesH6430 are rulersH4910 over us? what is this that thou hast doneH6213 unto us? And he saidH559 unto them, As they didH6213 unto me, so have I doneH6213 unto them. {went: Heb. went down}
And they saidH559 unto him, We are come downH3381 to bindH631 thee, that we may deliverH5414 thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430. And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto them, SwearH7650 unto me, that ye will not fall uponH6293 me yourselves.
And they spakeH559 unto him, sayingH559, No; but we will bindH631 thee fastH631, and deliverH5414 thee into their handH3027: but surelyH4191 we will not killH4191 thee. And they boundH631 him with twoH8147 newH2319 cordsH5688, and brought him upH5927 from the rockH5553.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
And it came to pass, when JosephH3130 was comeH935 unto his brethrenH251, that they striptH6584+H853 JosephH3130 out ofH854 his coatH3801, his coatH3801 of many coloursH6446 that was on him; {colours: or, pieces}
And they tookH3947 him, and castH7993 him into a pitH953: and the pitH953 was emptyH7386, there was no waterH4325 in it.
And they sat downH3427 to eatH398 breadH3899: and they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, a companyH736 of IshmeelitesH3459 cameH935 from GileadH1568 with their camelsH1581 bearingH5375 spiceryH5219 and balmH6875 and myrrhH3910, goingH1980 to carry it downH3381 to EgyptH4714.
And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, What profitH1215 is it if we slayH2026 our brotherH251, and concealH3680 his bloodH1818?
ComeH3212, and let us sellH4376 him to the IshmeelitesH3459, and let not our handH3027 be upon him; for he is our brotherH251 and our fleshH1320. And his brethrenH251 were contentH8085. {were…: Heb. hearkened}
Then there passedH5674 by MidianitesH4084 merchantmenH582+H5503; and they drewH4900 and lifted upH5927 JosephH3130 out of the pitH953, and soldH4376 JosephH3130 to the IshmeelitesH3459 for twentyH6242 pieces of silverH3701: and they broughtH935 JosephH3130 into EgyptH4714.
And it came to pass at that timeH6256, that JudahH3063 went downH3381 from his brethrenH251, and turnedH5186 in to a certainH376 AdullamiteH5726, whose nameH8034 was HirahH2437.
And JudahH3063 sawH7200 there a daughterH1323 of a certainH376 CanaaniteH3669, whose nameH8034 was ShuahH7770; and he took herH3947, and went inH935 unto her.
And she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and he calledH7121 his nameH8034 ErH6147.
And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and she calledH7121 his nameH8034 OnanH209.
And she yet again conceivedH3254, and bareH3205 a sonH1121; and calledH7121 his nameH8034 ShelahH7956: and he was at ChezibH3580, when she bareH3205 him.
And JudahH3063 tookH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, whose nameH8034 was TamarH8559.
And ErH6147, Judah'sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slewH4191 him.
And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto OnanH209, Go inH935 unto thy brother'sH251 wifeH802, and marryH2992 her, and raise upH6965 seedH2233 to thy brotherH251.
And OnanH209 knewH3045 that the seedH2233 should not be his; and it came to pass, whenH518 he went inH935 unto his brother'sH251 wifeH802, that he spilledH7843 it on the groundH776, lestH1115 that he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251.
And the thing whichH834 he didH6213 displeasedH3415+H5869 the LORDH3068: wherefore he slewH4191 him also. {displeased…: Heb. was evil in the eyes of the Lord}
Then saidH559 JudahH3063 to TamarH8559 his daughter in lawH3618, RemainH3427 a widowH490 at thy father'sH1 houseH1004, till ShelahH7956 my sonH1121 be grownH1431: for he saidH559, Lest peradventure he dieH4191 also, as his brethrenH251 did. And TamarH8559 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in her father'sH1 houseH1004.
And in processH7235 of timeH3117 the daughterH1323 of ShuahH7770 Judah'sH3063 wifeH802 diedH4191; and JudahH3063 was comfortedH5162, and went upH5927 unto his sheepshearersH1494+H6629 to TimnathH8553, he and his friendH7453 HirahH2437 the AdullamiteH5726. {in process…: Heb. the days were multiplied}
And it was toldH5046 TamarH8559, sayingH559, Behold thy father in lawH2524 goeth upH5927 to TimnathH8553 to shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
And she putH5493 her widow'sH491 garmentsH899 offH5493 from her, and covered herH3680 with a vailH6809, and wrapped herselfH5968, and sat inH3427 an openH5869 placeH6607, which is by the wayH1870 to TimnathH8553; for she sawH7200 that ShelahH7956 was grownH1431, and she was not givenH5414 unto him to wifeH802. {an open…: Heb. the door of eyes, or, of Enajim}
When JudahH3063 saw herH7200, he thoughtH2803 her to be an harlotH2181; because she had coveredH3680 her faceH6440.
And he turnedH5186 unto her by the wayH1870, and saidH559, Go toH3051, I pray thee, let me come inH935 unto thee; (for he knewH3045 not that she was his daughter in lawH3618.) And she saidH559, What wilt thou giveH5414 me, that thou mayest come inH935 unto me?
And he saidH559, I will sendH7971 thee a kidH5795+H1423 from the flockH6629. And she saidH559, Wilt thou giveH5414 me a pledgeH6162, till thou sendH7971 it? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And he saidH559, WhatH834 pledgeH6162 shall I giveH5414 thee? And she saidH559, Thy signetH2368, and thy braceletsH6616, and thy staffH4294 that is in thine handH3027. And he gaveH5414 it her, and came inH935 unto her, and she conceivedH2029 by him.
And she aroseH6965, and went awayH3212, and laid byH5493 her vailH6809 from her, and put onH3847 the garmentsH899 of her widowhoodH491.
And JudahH3063 sentH7971 the kidH1423+H5795 by the handH3027 of his friendH7453 the AdullamiteH5726, to receiveH3947 his pledgeH6162 from the woman'sH802 handH3027: but he found herH4672 not.
Then he askedH7592 the menH582 of that placeH4725, sayingH559, Where is the harlotH6948, that was openlyH5869 by the way sideH1870? And they saidH559, There was no harlotH6948 in thisH2088 place. {openly: or, in Enajim}
And he returnedH7725 to JudahH3063, and saidH559, I cannotH3808 findH4672 her; and also the menH582 of the placeH4725 saidH559, that there was no harlotH6948 in this place.
And JudahH3063 saidH559, Let her takeH3947 it to her, lest we be shamedH937: behold, I sentH7971 this kidH1423, and thou hast not foundH4672 her. {be shamed: Heb. become a contempt}
And it came to pass about threeH7969 monthsH2320 after, that it was toldH5046 JudahH3063, sayingH559, TamarH8559 thy daughter in lawH3618 hath played the harlotH2181; and also, behold, she is with childH2030 by whoredomH2183. And JudahH3063 saidH559, Bring her forthH3318, and let her be burntH8313.
When she was brought forthH3318, she sentH7971 to her father in lawH2524, sayingH559, By the manH376, whose these are, am I with childH2030: and she saidH559, DiscernH5234, I pray thee, whose are these, the signetH2858, and braceletsH6616, and staffH4294.
And JudahH3063 acknowledgedH5234 them, and saidH559, She hath been more righteousH6663 than I; because that I gaveH5414 her not to ShelahH7956 my sonH1121. And he knew herH3045 againH3254 no more.
