AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 38:7 But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD killed him [in judgment]. |
Bible Question: Why was Er so evil that God put him to death? What was/were his sins that deserved death? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Prayon! I searched and searched, but there is nothing in Scripture about this man, other than the fact that he was a son of Judah and that we was so wicked that God put him to death. The verses that mention him are: Gen. 38:3, 6, 7, 46:12; Num. 26:19; and 1 Chron. 2:3. Two other verses refer to another Er: 1 Chron. 4:21 and Luke 3:28. If I had to guess, I would say that his sin probably had something to do with blasphemey. However, that would only be a guess. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
