GOD’S WORD Translation
17 “I’ll send you a young goat from the flock,” he answered.
She said, “First give me something as a deposit until you send it.”
18 “What should I give you as a deposit?” he asked.
“Your signet ring, its cord, and the shepherd’s staff that’s in your hand,” she answered.
So he gave them to her. Then he slept with her, and she became pregnant. 19 After she got up and left, she took off her veil and put her widow’s clothes back on.
