Genesis 38:26-30

²⁶Judah recognized the items and said, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her to my son Shelah.” And he did not have relations with her again.

²⁷When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb.

²⁸And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced.

²⁹But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.

³⁰Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
