4872. 'And she said, If you give me a pledge until you send it' means an acceptance provided it was made a certainty. This is clear from the words above spoken by Tamar, 'What do you give me for coming [in] to me?' which mean a conditional acceptance to become joined, 4870. But now an acceptance provided the same was made a certainty is meant, because the purpose of the pledge was to make certain that what was promised would be given.

4870. 'And she said, What do you give me for coming [in] to me?' means a conditional acceptance to become joined. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming [in] to me' as a joining together, dealt with in 4820, 4868. The fact that a conditional acceptance is meant is evident without explanation.
