“Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.”
He asked the men who lived there: where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road at Enaim? There hasn't been any shrine prostitute here, they said. The neighbors know no shrine prostitute — Tamar was not what Judah thought she was; she was a widow obtaining what was legally hers. The application: the people of Enaim did not see what Judah saw — the prostitute existed only in Judah's misperception.
