Genesis 38:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Onan knew that the [a](A)offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother’s wife, he [b]wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give [c]offspring to his brother. 10 But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the Lord; so He (B)took his life also. 11 Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “(C)Remain a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up”; for he [d]thought, “I am afraid that he too may die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father’s house.
