Kathy no pardon needed,this is not my thread,it is Rapunzels

I just jumped at the opertunity to ask some questions.I am inerested in your question also, or any others

I hope others do add and ask stuff.

Rapunzel after reading more and more,it looks like Judah offered up all his sons including Er who died first, thats why he thought Tamar was cursed I see. Did they actually have a choice to marry her? This is what I am getting at since I don't see that answered anywhere. Seems unfair and cruel to not actually have a choice. I also dont see where Onan actually "wanted" to marry her it appears it was a arranged marriage. And the only thing Onan did wicked I see was spill his seed since he did not want a child of his to raise as his brothers.
Then be slew by God on top of that just for that. Sad and cruel to me.

I actually should of read all this on Onan first again, after posting the question about the genealogy, but Onan popped right in my head after I posted, so I jumped with my thoughts to fast on this one before my memory was refreshed.
sorry about all the posts about this one

Still would love to know why so many Americans followed this law soooo long, I am sure many of them felt the same as Onan, who wanted to only raise his child as his own,what I get from the bible.
It don't add to this reason in this story.
