Genesis 38:4-10 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

4. And she again conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.

5. And again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah; and he was at Chezib when she bore him.

6. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

7. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah slew him.

8. Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to thy brother's wife, and fulfil to her the brother-in-law's duty, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9. But when Onan knew that the seed should not be his own, it came to pass when he went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, in order to give no seed to his brother.

10. And the thing which he did was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and he slew him also.
