[!note]- To wife…
Plurality of wives, though contrary to the primitive institution of marriage, Genesis 2:24, was by divine dispensation allowed to the patriarchs: which allowance seems to have continued during the time of the law of Moses. But Christ our Lord reduced marriage to its primitive institution (Matthew 19).
