Er and Onan Die

Genesis 38:6-11

Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar.

Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him.

Then Iudah said to Onan, Goe in vnto thy brothers wife, and do the office of a kinsman vnto her, and raise vp seede vnto thy brother.

And Onan knewe that the seede should not be his: therefore when he went in vnto his brothers wife, he spilled it on the grounde, least he should giue seede vnto his brother.

And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also.

Then said Iudah to Tamar his daughter in lawe, Remaine a widowe in thy fathers house, till Shelah my sonne growe vp (for he thought thus, Least he die as well as his brethren.) So Tamar went and dwelt in her fathers house.
