[quote=Anonymous]Genesis 38 1-10.  This on baffles me to no end (new International Version)

Judah and Tamar

1 At that time, Judah left his brothers and went down to stay with a man of Adullam named Hirah.
2 There Judah met the daughter of a Canaanite man named Shua. He married her and made love to her;
3 she became pregnant and gave birth to a son, who was named Er.
4 She conceived again and gave birth to a son and named him Onan.
5 She gave birth to still another son and named him Shelah. It was at Kezib that she gave birth to him.
6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.
7 [b]But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death.[/b]
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”
9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
[b]10 What he did was wicked in the LORD’s sight; so the LORD put him to death also.[/b]

Two kills right there, one completely random and inexplicable, the other highly dubious to say the least[/quote]
