Yes, but polygamy was going on before the law was given.

then again wives was a cultural thing, much like posessions more than spousal units..you know?
we are thinking about wives in the same sense a man has a wife now - In actuality I think having more than one wife back then was about like having more than one camel - only less profitable LOL

i never said he did.
the point i am trying to make is this: This practice was going on and was accepted. When men of God participated in this practice there was no one there (priest/prophet) to say, hey, you cant have x amount wives. Godly men participated in this practice as well.

oh, I know you didnt say it - I just think he let them make their own decisions.
Even then he didnt spell out every single detail of their lives - I guess He figured a man taking on a tent full of women would learn soon enough LOL

You have to be pretty crazy to want a tent full of women. but then again back then women had no rights and did what they were told. there was no such things as womens rights. it would have really stunk to be a woman back then.
