« Gen 37Gen 38Gen 39 »

27 Now it happened at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were ^atwins in her womb. 28 And it happened, while she was giving birth, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 And then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out. So she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” So he was named ¹^aPerez. 30 Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand; and he was named ¹^aZerah.
