19 After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow's clothes again.
19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
19 Then she arose and went away, and taking off her veil she put on the garments of her widowhood.
19 She then left and went home. She removed her veil and put her widow's clothes back on.
19 So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood.
19 Afterward she went back home, took off her veil, and put on her widow's clothing as usual.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 38:19
Chapter Contents
The profligate conduct of Judah and his family.
This chapter gives an account of Judah and his family, and such an account it is, that it seems a wonder that of all Jacob's sons, our Lord should spring out of Judah, John 8:41. What awful examples the Lord proclaims in his punishments, of his utter displeasure at sin! Let us seek grace from God to avoid every appearance of sin. And let that state of humbleness to which Jesus submitted, when he came to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, in appointing such characters as those here recorded, to be his ancestors, endear the Redeemer to our hearts.
