Genesis 38:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 38:6

4 She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name ^aOnan.

5 And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name ^aShelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.

6 Then Judah ^atook a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was ^bTamar.

7 But ^aEr, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, ^band the Lord killed him.

8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to ^ayour brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”

9 But Onan knew that the heir would not be ^ahis; 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.
