Does the Bible Sanction Poly
gamy9

Prom the Boston Investigator.
Mr.. Editor:-The Mosaic law provides
that aft man have two wives, one be-
loved and another hated,r he shall not
ignore the legal rights Of the hated
wife's children. This statute plainly
recognizes and implicitly sanctions the
Institution. Another statute provides
that II man die, his surviving brother
shall become the husband Of his widow,
and this regardless as to whether the
brother be married or single.
The first IS verses Of the Eighteenth
chapter Of Leviticus are devoted to what
10 termed "unlawfll marriages." Here
polygamy is recognized and regulated
to the extent Of prohibiting a man from
marrying the sister Of living wife.
Paul ordained that bishop should have
but one wife, implying the right Of 9TH
ers to have more than one.
But there is one statute in the Bible
which places the validity Of polygamy,
so far as this book Is concerned, beyond
all controversy. This statute provides
that no illegitimate child shall enter
into the congregation OF the Lord, even
up to the tenth generation. Now, pc-
lygamy was either lawful or unlawful.
II unlawful, then the children Of the po-
lygamists were Legitimate children, and
disqualified for entering into the Lords
sanctuary. According to the Bible,
children Of polygamists were not thus
disqualified. The founders Of the ~
tribes Of Israel were all children Of a
polygamist.
The most renowned Bible saints"
were polygamists, and their polygamy
lie either directly or indirectly sane
toned. Abraham had two wives, and
when he died the Lord said, abraham
obeyed my voice, and kept my charge,
my commandments, my statutes, and
my laws" Jacob was polygamist,
and when he had secured tour wives,
God blessed him and said, "Be fruitful
and multiply" Moses was evidently q
bigamist, and being the law-giver, he
certainly knew what was lawful. Gideon
had many wives, and 1t was to him an
angel came and said, 1.-THE Lord is with
thee"
David had nearly score Of wives and
concubines, and "David was man af-
ter Gods own heart" and david did
right In the eyes Of the Lord" God
himself says to David, ~ delivered thee
out Of the hands of Saul, and gave thee
thy masters house and thy masters
wives"
In view of the foregoing, I think we
are justified In claiming that the Bible
does sanction polygamy.
