Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
In context
11Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up” — for he thought, “He might die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house. 12After a long time, Shua’s daughter, Judah’s wife, died. When Judah had finished mourning, he went up to Timnah to his sheepshearers, together with his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way up to Timnah to shear his sheep.” 14So she took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and sat down at the entrance to Enaim, on the road to Timnah — for she saw that Shelah was grown, yet she had not been given to him as a wife. 15When Judah saw her, he took her for a prostitute, because she had covered her face.
