2 | better a man spill his seed in the belly | Gen 38:9 | Makarios | 96065 | ||
Greetings Preacherman, This 'saying' is no doubt a reference to Genesis 38:9, which is the only recorded moment in the Bible where it speaks of a man 'spilling his seed on the ground.' Genesis 38:8-10 "Then Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother." Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also." As always, the LORD sees straight through to the heart and the motives of any individual part of His creation. And what He found was a wickedness in Onan for his unwillingness to raise up children for his brother. Blessings to you, Makarios |
