14 Alors elle quitta ses habits de veuve, et se couvrit d'un voile, et s'en enveloppa, et s'assit à l'entrée d'Énaïm, qui est sur le chemin de Thimna; car elle voyait que Shéla était devenu grand, et qu'elle ne lui avait point été donnée pour femme.

And it was at [the] time gave birth she and there! twins [were] in womb her.
