Genesis 38:6-11

Er and Onan Die

Genesis 38:6-11
6
Judah took a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7
Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD. The LORD killed him.
8
Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother.”
9
Onan knew that the seed wouldn’t be his; and when he went in to his brother’s wife, he spilled it on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother.
10
The thing which he did was evil in the sight of the LORD, and he killed him also.
11
