and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand." He gave them to her, and came in to her, and she conceived by him. 038:019 She arose, and went away, and put off her veil from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. 038:020 Judah sent the kid of the goats by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her. 038:021 Then he asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?" They said, "There has been no prostitute here." 038:022 He returned to Judah, and said, "I haven't found her; and also the men of the place said, 'There has been no prostitute here.'" 038:023 Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this kid, and you haven't found her." 038:024 It happened about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, "Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution."

He was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 039:003 His master saw that Yahweh was with him, and that Yahweh made all that he did prosper in his hand. 039:004 Joseph found favor in his sight.
