Génesis 38:8-10

Listen to Génesis 38:8-10
8 Entonces Judá dijo a Onán, hermano de Er: «Cásate con Tamar, como nuestra ley exige al hermano de un hombre que haya muerto. Tú debes darle un heredero a tu hermano».
9 Pero Onán no estaba dispuesto a tener un hijo que no fuera su propio heredero. Por eso, cada vez que tenía relaciones sexuales con la mujer de su hermano, derramaba el semen en el suelo. Esto evitaba que ella tuviera un hijo de su hermano.
10 Así que el Señor
consideró una maldad que Onán negara un hijo a su hermano muerto, y el Señor
también le quitó la vida a Onán.

Génesis 38:8-10 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 38

This chapter is wholly taken up with matters relating to Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, from whom the Jews have their name, and from whom Christ sprung: it treats of his marriage with a Canaanitess, his children by her, their character and end, Ge 38:1-11; of his incest with his daughter-in-law, though unknown by him, Ge 38:12-23; of his resentment against her, when he heard she was with child, and his confusion when he found it was by himself, Ge 38:24-26; and of the birth of twins by her, named Pharez and Zarah, Ge 38:27-30.
