All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:

And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.

And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.

And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.

And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.

And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.

And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.

And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.

And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.

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.

And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.

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.

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 Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman"s hand: but he found her not.

And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.

And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
