Genesis 38:7 in Context — Genesis 38
5 E voltou a conceber, e deu à luz um filho, e chamou seu nome Selá. E estava em Quezibe quando o deu à luz.
6 E Judá tomou mulher para seu primogênito Er, a qual se chamava Tamar.
7 E Er, o primogênito de Judá, foi mau aos olhos do SENHOR, e tirou-lhe o SENHOR a vida.
8 Então Judá disse a Onã: Deita-te com mulher de teu irmão, e casa-te com ela, e suscita descendência a teu irmão.
9 E sabendo Onã que a descendência não havia de ser sua, sucedia que quando se deitava com mulher de seu irmão derramava em terra, para não dar descendência a seu irmão.
