Genesis 38:29

Study

       

29 At nangyari, na pagkaurong ng kaniyang kamay, na, narito, ang kaniyang kapatid ang lumabas. At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit nagpumiglas ka? kaya't tinawag ang pangalan niyang Phares.

4907. 'She was brought out' means near to being carried out, namely to being exterminated. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'being brought out and burnt' as being exterminated, dealt with immediately above in 4906, and here therefore her being brought out to be burnt means near to its extermination being carried out.
