Found a few that expound on biblical law that legislate polygamy as a practice:

Exodus 21:10 and surrounding passages

Deuteronomy 21:15 and surrounding passages

...and I stand with my original statement that Moses had more than one wife. Try Numbers 12:1. Zipporah was Midianite, while this unnamed wife that is mentioned is Ethiopian. The question I have is if this wife was taken after Zipporah died, or did he take this wife when she was still alive?

I feel a tanget coming and it's of my own making. Sorry!

Anyway...

Yes, I'm buried back in the OT on this as I know that various NT apostles railed against the practice, but again, my point is that marriage isn't quite the "holy" institution that it is sometimes positioned as...

...and the SECULAR legislation being passed is taking a huge leap in ownership of the issue, where it should strictly be defined in the churches.

As a mostly conservative citizen of the US, I don't like it when judges legislate from the bench and as a citizen concerned about fairness and equality of my fellow Man/Woman, I typically don't like it when my government is legislating from the pulit and this is certainly one of those times.
