Then Judah said to Onan, “Have intercourse with your brother’s wife, in fulfillment of your duty as brother-in-law, and thus preserve your brother’s line.”#Preserve your brother’s line: lit., “raise up seed for your brother”: an allusion to the law of levirate, or “brother-in-law,” marriage; see notes on Dt 25:5; Ru 2:20.
“Dica mangaramid iti maipaay kenca a ladawan a kinitikitan, uray ania a catulad ti adda idiay ngato sadi langit, wenno ti adda iti baba ditoy daga, wenno ti adda iti danum iti uneg ti daga: Dica irucnoy ti bagim cadacuada wenno pagservian ida.”—Exodo 20:4, 5, Ti Biblia, PBS.
