OET (OET-RV)About three months later, Yehudah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar has prostituted herself, and not only that, she’s pregnant from doing it.”
¶ “Bring her out and let her be burnt to death.” Yehudah demanded.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִ֣י כְּ⁠מִ⁠שְׁלֹ֣שׁ חֳדָשִׁ֗ים

and=he/it_was about,from, months

The phrase Then it happened introduces an important part of the story and helps create suspense or anticipation, so that it leaves the audience wondering what will happen next. Some translations leave it implied. Do what is best in your language.

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֻּגַּ֨ד לִֽ⁠יהוּדָ֤ה לֵֽ⁠אמֹר֙

and,told to,Judah to=say

Alternate translation: “someone said to Judah,” or “someone informed Judah,”

תָּמָ֣ר כַּלָּתֶ֔⁠ךָ

Tāmār daughter-in-law,your

Consider again how you translated daughter-in-law in the book of Genesis. See Gen 11:31; 38:11, 16, 24.

זָֽנְתָה֙

played_the_whore

Some languages have an idiom for this phrase. Do what is best in your language. See how you translated “prostitute” in Gen 34:31, 38:15 and “temple prostitute” in verses 21-22. Alternate translation: “has acted as a prostitute.”

וְ⁠גַ֛ם הִנֵּ֥ה הָרָ֖ה לִ⁠זְנוּנִ֑ים

and=also see/lo/see! pregnant by,whoredom

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “In fact, as a result of her immoral behavior she has become pregnant!” or “and even worse, she is now pregnant because of that!”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוּדָ֔ה

and=he/it_said Yehuda

Alternate translation: “Judah said angrily,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הוֹצִיא֖וּ⁠הָ

bring_~_out,her

Executions were normally done outside of the city walls.

וְ⁠תִשָּׂרֵֽף

and,burned

Alternate translation: “and punish her by burning her to death!”
