Genesis 38:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 38:3

And she conceived, and bare a son, and he called his name Er.
] Which signifies a "watchman": but the reason of the name given by the Targum of Jonathan is,

``because he should die without children;''
as if it was the same with Ariri, "childless".

Genesis 38:3 In-Context

1 Es begab sich um dieselbe Zeit, daß Juda hinabzog von seinen Brüdern und tat sich zu einem Mann von Adullam, der hieß Hira.
2 Und Juda sah daselbst eines Kanaaniter-Mannes Tochter, der hieß Sua, und nahm sie. Und da er zu ihr einging,
3 ward sie schwanger und gebar einen Sohn, den hieß er Ger.
4 Und sie ward abermals schwanger und gebar einen Sohn, den hieß sie Onan.
5 Sie gebar abermals einen Sohn, den hieß sie Sela; und er war zu Chesib, da sie ihn gebar.
