Genesis 38:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ Judah chose a woman named Tamar to be the wife of his first son Er. ⁷ But Er did many bad things. The Lord was not happy with him, so the Lord killed him. ⁸ Then Judah said to Er’s brother Onan, “Go and sleep with your dead brother’s wife.^[a] Become like a husband to her. If children are born, they will belong to your brother Er.”
