Onan
Onan () is a minor biblical person in the Book of Genesis chapter 38, who was the second son of Judah. Like his older brother, Er, Onan was killed by Yahweh. Onan's death was retribution for being "evil in the sight of the Lord" through being unwilling to father a child by his widowed sister-in-law.〔Dancy, J. ''The Divine Drama: the Old Testament as Literature'', (ISBN 0718829875, ISBN 978-0-7188-2987-2), 2002, p. 92〕
==Biblical account==
After Onan's brother Er was slain by God, his father Judah told him to fulfill his duty as a brother-in-law (levirate marriage) to Tamar, by giving her offspring. Religion professor Tikva Frymer-Kensky has said that this could have substantial economic repercussions, with any son born deemed the heir of the deceased Er, and able to claim the firstborn's double share of inheritance. However, if Er were childless, Onan would have inherited as the oldest surviving son.〔(Frymer-Kensky, Tikva. "Tamar: Bible", ''Jewish Women: A Comprehensive Historical Encyclopedia''. 20 March 2009. Jewish Women's Archive. (Viewed on August 6, 2014) )〕
When Onan had sex with Tamar, he withdrew before climax〔Freedman, Myers & Beck. ''Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible'' (ISBN 0802824005, ISBN 978-0-8028-2400-4), 2000, p.1273〕 and "spilled his seed (''semen'' ) on the ground", since any child born would not legally be considered his heir.〔Dershowitz. ''The Genesis of Justice'', (ISBN 0446524794, ISBN 978-0-446-52479-7), 2000, ch. 9〕 He disregarded the principle of a levirate union, so God slew him.〔()〕
