Genesis 38:14

Back to Verses

And she put her widow’s garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

She took off her widow's clothes, covered herself with a scarf, wrapped herself up, and sat in a public area near the road to Timnath. She did this because she noticed that Shelah had grown up, but he wasn't married to her yet.
