Genesis 8:21

Studie

       

21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth: neither will I again smite any more every living animal as I have done.

4834. 'And Judah said to Onan' means so as to preserve a representative of the Church. This is clear from the words which follow, since these here have regard to them. That is, he said that Onan was to perform for his brother the duty of a husband's brother, by which the preservation and continuation of the Church, to be discussed next, is represented.
