Genesis 38:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Displeased the Lord; an expression noting a more than ordinary offence against God, as 2 Samuel 11:27. This just but dreadful severity of God is noted both for the terror of such-like transgressors, and to provoke love and thankfulness to God in those whom he useth more indulgently.

Genesis 38:10

10 And the thing which he did displeaseda the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
