New King James Version
Genesis 38:6-9
6Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord killed him.
8And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”
9But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.
