Genesis 38:8 in Context — Genesis 38
6 Juda prit pour Er, son premier-né, une femme nommée Tamar.
7 Er, premier-né de Juda, était méchant aux yeux de l’Éternel; et l’Éternel le fit mourir.
8 Alors Juda dit à Onan: Va vers la femme de ton frère, prends-la, comme beau-frère, et suscite une postérité à ton frère.
9 Onan, sachant que cette postérité ne serait pas à lui, se souillait à terre lorsqu’il allait vers la femme de son frère, afin de ne pas donner de postérité à son frère.
10 Ce qu’il faisait déplut à l’Éternel, qui le fit aussi mourir.
