TSNTyndale Study Notes:

38:7 That Er was a wicked man is not surprising, since his mother was a Canaanite and his father a wayward Israelite.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י עֵ֚ר בְּכ֣וֹר יְהוּדָ֔ה

and=he/it_was ˊĒr firstborn Yehuda

Some languages leave the firstborn of Judah implied here since Er was already called the firstborn in verse 6. The Hebrew text repeats that information here to emphasize Er’s relationship to Judah in the following events. Do what is best in your language.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י & רַ֖ע בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

and=he/it_was & evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH

The Hebrew text does not specify what Er had done wrong, so neither should your translation. See how you translated the idiom in the eyes of Yahweh in Gen 6:8. Alternate translation: “did something that Yahweh judged to be evil”

וַ⁠יְמִתֵ֖⁠הוּ יְהוָֽה

and,put_~_todeath,him YHWH

Alternate translation: “so Yahweh took his life.”
