(9,077 posts)After Onan's brother Er died, his father Judah told him to fulfill his duty as a brother-in-law to Tamar, by giving her offspring. Centuries later, in the days of Moses, this practice was formulated into a law of a levirate marriage, where the brother of the deceased would provide offspring to the childless widow[2] to preserve the family line.[1]
However, when Onan had sex with Tamar, he disregarded this principle when he withdrew before climax[3] and "spilled his seed [or semen] on the ground", since any child born would not legally be considered his heir.[4] He disregarded the principle of a levirate union, so he died prematurely, exactly as God had warned would happen. (Genesis 38:3-10)
