5ኢዮናዳብም፣ "እንግዲያው 'ታምሜአለሁ' ብለህ ዐልጋ ላይ ተኛ፤ አባትህ ሊጠይቅህ ሲመጣም፣ 'እኅቴ ትዕማር መጥታ የምበላውን ነገር ብትሰጠኝ ደስ ይለኛል፤ መብሉንም እዚሁ አጠገቤ ሆና እያየሁ አዘጋጅታ በእጇ እንድታጐርሰኝ እባክህ ፍቀድልኝ ብለህ ንገረው" አለው።
2Sa 13:5 Jonadab then said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat, and let her prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat from her hand.'" (nas)
