He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”

So they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the robe in its blood.

“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” he replied.

But she said, “Only if you leave something with me until you send it.”

When Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get back the items he had left with the woman, he could not find her.

Judah replied, “Let her keep the items for herself; otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send this young goat, but you couldn’t find her.”
