Bible Question: In the bible God put a man to death because he ejaculated his sperm onto the ground, where is this found in the bible? |
Bible Answer: Hello greyowlbeard, The person you're referring to is Onan from Gen. 38:9-10: "But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother’s wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death also." (English Standard Version) BradK |
