And ye shall by violence take unto you every man his wife. 1The elders do not give Counsel unto the rest of the Beniamites to take more wives then one, but they will every man to take his own wife. And a little after it is added: They took unto ⟨image 294⟩them wives according to their number. Undoubtedly if plurality of wives should have at any time ben admitted for the procreation of children, here it seemed most of all to have been needful, forasmuch as the tribe of Benjamin was in a manner destroyed, & needed a speedy instauration or renewing. But the elders although they carefully studied for the restitution of the Beniamites, yet they thought it not mete to fly unto the remedy of Polygamia: which is an argument, that in their judgement that was not allowed.
