38:1-30 The story of Judah and Tamar is a carefully placed interlude; it reports what was happening in the family of Judah, who would later rise to prominence, and it shows the beginnings of assimilation with the people of the land to help explain why God sent the family to Egypt (chs 39–47). The Egyptians were strict separatists (43:32); the Israelites would retain their unique identity better in Egypt than in Canaan.

and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,giving_birth,she
See how you translated giving birth in Gen 35:16. This may need to be translated differently here because of the different context. Alternate translation: “As she was starting to deliver her babies,”
וַיִּתֶּן יָ֑ד
and,put_out hand
Alternate translation: “one of the twins put out his hand”
וַתִּקַּ֣ח הַמְיַלֶּ֗דֶת וַתִּקְשֹׁ֨ר עַל־יָד֤וֹ שָׁנִי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר
and=she/it_took the,midwife and,tied on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=hand scarlet_thread to=say
The midwife did this because it was her responsibility to identify which baby was the firstborn. See how you translated midwife in Gen 35:17. Alternate translation: “Then the midwife who was there tied a bright red thread on his wrist and said,” or “So the midwife who was helping her …”
