Centuries later when Jehovah chose the Israelites as his people, polygamy already existed among them, although it apparently was far more common to have just one wife.
Berabad - abad kemudian sewaktu Yehuwa memilih bangsa Israel sebagai umat - Nya, poligami sudah ada di kalangan mereka, kendati tampaknya mempunyai hanya satu istri jauh lebih umum.
