Genesis 38:7-10

⁷But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.

⁸Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”

⁹But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

¹⁰What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
