Onan
     The second son of Judah by his Canaanite wife Bathshua. Onan's older brother was Er, who had a wife named Tamar. (38:2-4,6)
     Er died, and he and Tamar left no children. According to custom, if the husband dies without getting a child, then the husband's brother must have sex with the wife, so that the wife will bear a child. The child will be legally the child of the dead husband. Judah told his second son, Onan, to do his duty as the husband's brother, and have sex with Tamar so that Er could have a child. Onan didn't like this. The baby wouldn't legally be his own. So whenever he had sex with Tamar, he spilled his semen on the ground so that Tamar wouldn't get pregnant. God didn't like this, and killed Onan. (38:7-10) Onan died in the land of Canaan. (46:12)
