Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.

And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? 17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock.

But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a pledge until you send it.”
