"Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.” "
— Genesis 38:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.”
“And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and perform the duty of a husband’s brother unto her, and raise up seed to thy brother. ”
“Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her, and raise up seed to your brother."”
“Then Judah said to Onan,“Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her so that you may raise up a descendant for your brother.””
“Juda, therefore, said to Onan his son: Go in to thy brother's wife and marry her, that thou mayst raise seed to thy brother.”
“Then Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother's wife and do what it is right for a husband's brother to do; make her your wife and get offspring for your brother.”
“And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.”
Likewise, she bore a third, whom she called Shelah, after whose birth, she ceased to bear any more.
Then Judah gave a wife to his first born Er, whose name was Tamar.
And it also happened that Er, the first born of Judah, was wicked in the sight of the Lord and was killed by him.
Therefore, Judah said to his son Onan: “Enter to the wife of your brother, and associate with her, so that you may raise offspring to your brother.”
He, knowing that the sons to be born would not be his, when he entered to the wife of his brother, he spilled his seed on the ground, lest children should be born in his brother’s name.
And for this reason, the Lord struck him down, because he did a detestable thing.
Because of this matter, Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Be a widow in your father’s house, until my son Shelah grows up.” For he was afraid, lest he also might die, just as his brothers did. She went away, and she lived in her father’s house.
