Awake and masturbating
In the Gemara Yevamot 34b, it is explained that according to the opinion of Chazal, Shaar and Onan were used in a manner not their own.
And it is difficult, after all, to get over a wrong use, so why was it necessary to destroy the land (to destroy it from the inside and to scatter it from the outside)?
I don’t know. I don’t deal with legends and biblical interpretation. Perhaps the Gemara explains the destruction of the land as coming not according to its way. That is, the seed is going to destruction. Alternatively, perhaps the meaning is not according to its way to the land. Again, I saw that the commentators of the verse there extended this and wrote in these two ways (see Paltiel, Hadar Zakenim and Moshav Zakenim and Riva and others). And the Mizrahi there extended this and wrote that these are divided midrashim.
