This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Ver. 10. Wherefore he slew him.] God oft punisheth the abuse of the marriage bed, either with untimely death - it was well said of one, {a} that Venus provides not for those that are already born, but for those that shall be born - or else with no children, misshapen children, idiots, or prodigiously wicked children, &c. Cavete let this consideration be as the angel standing with a drawn sword over Balaam’s shoulders.
{a} Cuffe’s Differ. of Ages, 106.
