Genesis 38:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And Judah said to Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and do the office of a kinsman unto her, and raise [a]up seed unto thy brother.
9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his: therefore when he went in unto his brother’s wife, he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
10 And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slew him also.
