And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Y Judá le dijo a Onán: 'Ve a la mujer de tu hermano y cásate con ella, y ten hijos para continuar la línea familiar de tu hermano.'
Judá le ordenó a Onán que se casara con la viuda de su hermano para darle descendencia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israelite culture, it was a customary practice for a man to marry his deceased brother's widow in order to provide an heir for his brother, a tradition known as levirate marriage that helped preserve family lineage and inheritance rights. This occurred within the broader narrative of the patriarchs in Genesis, where Judah, one of Jacob's sons, was dealing with the deaths in his family. In this specific story, Judah instructed his son Onan to fulfill this duty after his older brother Er died childless, leaving his widow Tamar without an heir.
