In context

20And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.

21Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where the harlot, that openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this .

22And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, there was no harlot in this .

23And Judah said, Let her take to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

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 with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
