⁷ But Judah's firstborn, Er, grievously offended GOD and GOD took his life. ⁸ So Judah told Onan, "Go and sleep with your brother's widow; it's the duty of a brother-in-law to keep your brother's line alive." ⁹ But Onan knew that the child wouldn't be his, so whenever he slept with his brother's widow he spilled his semen on the ground so he wouldn't produce a child for his brother. ¹⁰ GOD was much offended by what he did and also took his life.
