ummm, not advocacy, maybe you don't know what that word means.
Advocacy definition, the act of pleading for, supporting, or recommending; active espousal: He was known for his advocacy of states' rights.
The Bible NEVER promoted more than one wife, it reports truthfully what happened.
God's model was Adam (one man) Eve (one wife).

It's under the circumstance that ;
1) the patriarchs and ancestors of Israel refused to establish inter-marriage with the Canaanites who worshiped idol gods.
That's why Lot's daughters would like to preserve offspring for Lot. It has nothing to do with sexual desire
2) It may be difficult for a Hebrew man or woman to find another Hebrew for marriage, that's why Abraham has to go a long way back to marry his sister. It has nothing to do with sexual desire but the continuity of a family (the Jews) who is faithful to God.
God thus allows these to happen for the continuity of the Jewish families until their population grows and for the Jews to survive history to bring forward God's messages.
However this is no longer the case in Moses time. At that time, some Jews have many wives purely for their sexual desire as population is no longer an issue. The Egyptians actually killed their children to avoid their population growth. Just as Jesus said, Moses allowed them to have many wives because their hearts were hard.

Sir. God simply blessed HIS people during their oppression. They outnumbered their enemies because God blessed HIS children with offspring
You have assumed they had many wives but that is never said.
In fact if that were the case there would have been no need for CHRIST to being up the practice of giving one's wife a certificate of divorce simply so as to satisfy the flesh with a new "wife"
if if this was the norm in the time of Moses, then the men if GOD would have simply added to their house an additional wife and would have had no need to send away their first wives

Sending away a married wife made her a defiled woman and age would have no hope of any inheritance since it was based on her husbands line/tribe/house and her being tied to that house/tribe/line through marriage
by the way, Moses was married to a "gentile" wife yet she did the works of one Covenanted to GOD because of her love for her bridegroom. And because of it she turned GOD's anger towards Moses away

Didn't you follow the whole conversation or just the end of it?
GOD made man
man separated man from man based on outward names
GOD didnt
in fact HE came to bring the two together in ONE BODY
Eve was the mother of all living and she brought forth her children (both male and female) of perishable seed And that seed is passed down to ALL MEN (WOMEN)
Yet Eve is not the one who brought forth the savior. Even that mother who had no husband was distinguished from her husband as the one who would bring forth the savior.
Dont you know the genealogical (spiritual) line comes from the father passed down to his generational sons?
who is JESUS' FATHER?
do you think HIS SEED is pwrishable? And doesn't HE have the RIGHT to call whom HE will call HIS OWN LOVED AND CHOSEN
