Gênesis 38:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 38:10

And the thing which he did displeased the Lord
Being done out of envy to his brother, and through want of affection to the memory of his name; and it may be out of covetousness to get his estate into his own hands, and especially as it frustrated the end of such an usage of marrying a brother's wife; which appears to be according to the will of God, since it afterwards became a known law of his; and it was the more displeasing, as it was not only a check upon the multiplication of Abraham's seed as promised, but since the Messiah was to come from Judah.

Gênesis 38:10 In-Context

8 Então Judá disse a Onã: “Case-se com a mulher do seu irmão, cumpra as suas obrigações de cunhado para com ela e dê uma descendência a seu irmão”.
9 Mas Onã sabia que a descendência não seria sua; assim, toda vez que possuía a mulher do seu irmão, derramava o sêmen no chão para evitar que seu irmão tivesse descendência.
10 O SENHOR reprovou o que ele fazia, e por isso o matou também.
11 Disse então Judá à sua nora Tamar: “More como viúva na casa de seu pai até que o meu filho Selá cresça”, porque temia que ele viesse a morrer, como os seus irmãos. Assim Tamar foi morar na casa do pai.
12 Tempos depois morreu a mulher de Judá, filha de Suá. Passado o luto, Judá foi ver os tosquiadores do seu rebanho em Timna com o seu amigo Hira, o adulamita.
