Genesis 38:28

And when she was in labor , one put out a hand , and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand , saying , This one came out first .

As she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his wrist and said, “This one came out first.”

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand : and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
