:::::I think it's also important to note the context of the exceptions. Jacob had two wives because Laban engaged in [[deception,]] substituting his older daughter for the younger. The multiple marriages were the result of two factors: Rachel's desire not to shame and disgrace her older sister, and Jacob's unfaltering love for Rachel.

:::::Furthermore, the multiple marriages were always focused on fulfilling the commandment "be fruitful and multiply." Time and time again, the reason was the same: the continued birth of children in order to ensure that the family would remain strong. This is not something same-sex marriage can achieve. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 20:00, 17 December 2009 (EST)
