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

And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?

And Judah saw her, and took her for a harlot; because she had covered her face.

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

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