Genesis 38:8 in Context — Genesis 38
6 Y Judá tomó mujer para su primogénito Er, la cual se llamaba Thamar.
7 Y Er, el primogénito de Judá, fué malo á los ojos de Jehová, y quitóle Jehová la vida.
8 Entonces Judá dijo á Onán: Entra á la mujer de tu hermano, y despósate con ella, y suscita simiente á tu hermano.
9 Y sabiendo Onán que la simiente no había de ser suya, sucedía que cuando entraba á la mujer de su hermano vertía en tierra, por no dar simiente á su hermano.
10 Y desagradó en ojos de Jehová lo que hacía, y también quitó á él la vida.
