Judah and Tamar · Genesis 38

Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38) read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew - plain modern English, nothing added.

Translator's notes:

• Genesis 38:21 — קְדֵשָׁה (qedeshah): chose "shrine-prostitute". Alternatives: "prostitute" (the ordinary word, used in verse 15), "temple woman". Why: Hirah deliberately uses a different, more respectable word than the one the narrator used of Tamar's disguise; keeping the distinction preserves his tact in asking.
