Genesis 38:6-9

6And JudahH3063 tookH3947 a wifeH802 for ErH6147 his firstbornH1060, and herH3947 nameH8034 was TamarH8559.

7And ErH6147, Judah’sH3063 firstbornH1060, was wickedH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 slew him.

8And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto OnanH209, GoH935 in unto thy brother’sH251 wifeH802, and performH2992 the dutyH2992 of an husband’sH2992 brotherH251 unto herH413, and raiseH6965 upH6965 seedH2233 to thy brotherH251.

9And OnanH209 knewH3045 that the seedH2233 should notH3808 be his; and it cameH935 to passH935, when he wentH935 in unto his brother’sH251 wifeH802, that he spilled it on the groundH776, lest he should giveH5414 seedH2233 to his brotherH251.
