Genesis 38:6-9
6Now JudahH3063 acquiredH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147, his firstbornH1060, and her nameH8034 was TamarH8559. 7ButH1961 ErH6147, Judah’sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; so the LORDH3068 put him to deathH4191. 8Then JudahH3063 saidH559 to OnanH209, “Sleep withH935H413 your brother’sH251 wifeH802. Perform your duty as her brother-in-lawH2992 and raise upH6965 offspringH2233 for your brotherH251.”
9But OnanH209 knewH3045 thatH3588 the offspringH2233H1961 would notH3808 belongH1961 to him; so wheneverH518 he would sleep withH935H413 his brother’sH251 wifeH802, he would spill his seedH7843 on the groundH776 so that he would notH1115 produceH5414 offspringH2233 for his brotherH251.
