You have to go father back in scripture to find the actual basis, to Adam and Eve. The original text in this passage says "if a man has HAD two wives", obviously referring to a past deceased wife and another taking the first one's place.
This is referring to inheritance rights, not acknowledging plural marriage, which God has NEVER done. OT people did it, yes, because they were sinful, as we all are.
Nice try, though.

I am not. I have a commentary from a Bible scholar who has studied the original Greek and Aramaic and that is what he says.
What do you have besides your own bias and your own sinful interpretation, making the text say what you want it to in order to support your position?
