He said, "I will send you a young goat from the flock." She said, "Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?"

Judah said, "Let her keep it, lest we be shamed. Behold, I sent this young goat, and you haven't found her."

Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend, the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, but he didn't find her.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, "By the man, whose these are, I am with child." She also said, "Please discern whose are these -- the signet, and the cords, and the staff."
