Onan:
(strong) the second son of Judah by the Canaanitess, "the daughter of Shua." (Genesis 38:4; 1 Chronicles 2:3). "What he did was evil in the eyes of Jehovah and he slew him also, as he had slain his elder brother (Genesis 38:9). His death took place before the family of Jacob went down into Egypt (Genesis 46:12; Numbers 26:19). (B.C. 1706)
