OET (OET-RV) So they got her and brought her out, but she sent a message to her father-in-law, saying, “It was the man who these things belong to that got me pregnant.” Then she added, “Please identify whose signet ring and cords and staff these are.”
הִ֣וא מוּצֵ֗את
who/which brought_out
Alternate translation: “So they went to get Tamar, but as they were taking her out of the town,”
וְהִ֨יא שָׁלְחָ֤ה אֶל חָמִ֨יהָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר
and=she sent to/towards father-in-law,her to=say
See how you translated father-in-law in verse 13.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּ֨אמֶר֙ הַכֶּר נָ֔א לְמִ֞י הַחֹתֶ֧מֶת וְהַפְּתִילִ֛ים וְהַמַּטֶּ֖ה הָאֵֽלֶּה
and=she/it_said examine now to,whom the,seal and,the,cord and,the,staff the=these
For some languages it is more natural to omit the quote margin here, since what follows is a continuation of the message Tamar is sending to Judah. Do what is best in your language. See how you translated signet and “cord” and staff in verse 18. Alternate translation: “Please identify the man who owns this name thing with its string and this walking stick.” or “Please look at this name seal with its cord and this walking stick. Do you know who they belong to?”
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.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
