Subject: Men had multiple wives in the old test.

Bible Note: Correct me if I am wrong...

God gave this commandments even in the time of Adam and Eve.

Ge 2:24
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

I think in that verse above, God mentioned the man and wife "shall be one flesh" therefore, I dont think that one man with 4 or 7 wives are also "one flesh".

I dont think also that it is okay for God, let us consult what was Jesus Christ told us about them...

Mt 19:4
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

in the verses above, it is clear that even in the beggining God is against having many wives...

Mt 19:5
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

if the man and wife will become one flesh it is really for two person man and wife not man and wives...

the scribes so and so reasoning Jesus with this...

Mt 19:7
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

Jesus answered them with this...
Mt 19:8

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

"in the beggining it was not so" Jesus said.

in the beggining there was no divorce, nor having many wives, it is because of the hardness of the heart of israelites, moses had to make laws about it.

Hope I understand you well,

thanks
