1. Mosebok 38,29

Pharez

27 Da tiden var inne for henne til å føde, bar hun på tvillinger.

28 Mens hun fødte, stakk en av dem ut hånden, og jordmoren bandt en skarlagenrød tråd om håndleddet hans og sa: "Denne kom ut først."

Men da han trakk hånden tilbake, kom broren ut, og hun sa: "Hvilket brudd du har gjort for deg selv!" Så han ble kalt Peres.

30 Etterpå kom broren ut, han som hadde den skarlagenrøde tråden om håndleddet, og han ble kalt Serah.
