The Law is "He made them male and female" not "male and females" or "males and female" or "male and male" or "female and female" or "female and animal" or "male and animal"

The patriarchs and later the Israelites all chose to keep more than one wife. But God's standards had always been one man for one woman.

Take the Israelites for example, imagine after bringing this stiffnecked people out of Egypt, God now demands that they all should keep just one wife. How do you think things would have been? They'll be commotion everywhere that's why God allowed them have their way until his onlyBegotten Son, Jesus came and reset the factory settings to one man one woman standard for marriage. Matthew 19:4-6

The practice of polygamy didn't originate from God. How many wife did God provide for Adam?
God's standard in the Garden of Eden is strictly monogamous

Yes! God did permit it among the Israelites for a time!
So, Jesus came and re reinstituted God's original stand

Abraham has a Defence of Coercion and Undue Pressure, Moses first wife left of her volution so he too had a Defence of Loneliness. Jacob had a Defence of Misrepresentation, Deceit and Contract.

Esau is not in our line so he is excluded for he went against God's Law in Wilfully marrying Canaanites to wound Isaac.

David and Solomon Clearly and Emphatically tell us "Do Not have more than One wife, Wahala plenty there ooh, Do Not do it, if you love your soul" And you know, they were the Best at Womeneering and Wife-ing grin

And all that they have written about women ARE TRUE, EVEN TODAY UNTIL THE WORLD ENDS!

Have you seen the one that married brief case in front page?

Jesus quoted from Gen 2:24 of how God instituted marriage in the beginning!- "One husband, One Wife"

And went on to show how their polygamous ways and divorce " "hasn't been the case from the beginning" (Matt 19:cool

Even though, those Patriarch are not Christains.
Under inspiration apostle paul penned this down for Jesus' disciples (1 Cor 7:2)

You know he was a God over his people, his evil people that is.

So none of them would be qualified nor able to come near him since He is Very Very Close, infact, they would say "Too Close to God for Comfort".

Therefore, it is only natural and reasonable that the woman who attempt to be his wife will be a foreigner!

Also I stated his wife Zippy, left him which means she no wish to waka with God or she don fear Moses finish (same Too Close for Comfort Syndrome) and you know say women dey mess up well well, so make she for no mess up where God Dey, it is reasonable, wise and understandable why she leaves!

Now, dat na d Ethiopian woman wahala! grin

D Bible Passage Matthew 19:4-6 Is Abt Whether A Man Should Divorce His Wife Or Not. I.e On What Ground Should A Man Divorce His Wife?

Summary of Matthew 19:1-9 and Romans 7:2-3:

Whoever divorces his wife on “every sort of grounds” except on basis of infidelity and death of the partner and then marries another commits adultery.
Surely Jesus Christ and apostle Paul would not make such statements if their intentions were to convey to others that they could have polygamous marriages.

I strongly believe we should stick to what God's Word the Bible says on such matters. Genesis 2:24
So when Jesus was questioned by the Pharisees, he directed their attention to the original standard that God himself set. Mathew 19:4-6
Besides none of those people you mentioned in the outset are qualified for everlasting life yet since they'll be resurrected in the future(Acts 24:15)
The Bible said if we want to gain everlasting life, we MUST[non-negotiable] listen to Jesus Christ and obey his commandments. John 3:36/Acts 4:12

D Woman Was A Foreigner. According To God's Law, He Was Not To Marry A Foreigner.

Be reasonable now! Zippy was also a foreigner yet God Called and Chose Moses, After his marriage to Zippy. Does that not tell you something about God and His Laws?

All of God's Laws are based on Good Reason and He Always Gives us The Reason for His Laws, which is in the case of marriage, God knows that Eve's Daughters, like their Mama have power to Sway and Change a good man into an Evil one.

And in this case, they shall take the men away from Him, which means that such men would become His Enemy and therefore they shall Die.

Meanwhile God's Plan was to make Isreal an Enviable Nation that people and nations would like to be like because He was going to Bless them 7Much and therefore, Peoples shall change and want to be like Isreal, which means that they would no longer be His Enemies and they shall not Die but Saved, in Fulfillment of the Abrahamic Plan!

So imagine your son going to befriend your enemy whom you plan on destroying? Surely, there should and must be a Law prevented that at the least, which is a good for your loved child!
