'Thought' in the Bible

Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Remain a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up”; for he thought, “I am afraid that he too may die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.

When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, for she had covered her face.
