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.
וַיִּשְׁאַ֞ל אֶת אַנְשֵׁ֤י מְקֹמָהּ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר

Alternate translation: “So Hirah asked some men who lived near the place where she had been,”
אַיֵּ֧ה הַקְּדֵשָׁ֛ה הִ֥וא בָעֵינַ֖יִם עַל הַדָּ֑רֶךְ
where the,cult_prostitute who/which in/on/at/with,Enaim on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,road
Pagan religions had fertility rites at their temples or shrines that included professional prostitutes. Make sure your translation of temple prostitute does not refer to any temple built by the Israelites. Also be consistent here with how you translated Enaim in verse 14. Alternate translation: “Where is the shrine prostitute who was sitting beside the road near the town of Enaim?”
לֹא הָיְתָ֥ה & קְדֵשָֽׁה
not she/it_was & cult_prostitute
Alternate translation: “There has never been a shrine prostitute” or “No shrine prostitute has ever been”
בָזֶ֖ה
in/on/at/with,here
Alternate translation: “in this town.”
