“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.”

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.”

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.

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.

He slept with Hagar, and she became pregnant. When she realized that she was pregnant, she treated her mistress with contempt.

Then she went and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she said, “I can’t bear to watch the boy die!” So as she sat nearby, she wept loudly.

So she took off her widow’s clothes, veiled her face, covered herself, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
