Hi Drevyev,
This is how lawyers make their money in the secular world....arguing about the interpretation of a legal text. You see Gen 38 as having one meaning, and I clearly see other points being made. All I know is that there would not be a Greek word surviving today AUNANISMOS (\"Aunanism\" - behaving like Aunan) to describe a general category of carnal sin having to do with the wasting of seed. My bet is that the Church Fathers who coined this word had the best understanding of Genesis 38.
