It happened about three months later, that it was told Yehudah, saying, *Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has played the prostitute; and moreover, behold, she is with child by prostitution.* Yehudah said, *Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.*
Thus says the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorce, with which I have put her away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities were you sold, and for your transgressions was your mother put away.
Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the seed of the house of Yisra'el, or a widow who is the widow of a Kohen.
