exodus 20
[SUP]14[/SUP] Thou shalt not commit adultery.
But then we see multiple cases where people take multiple wifes, concubines, visit prostitutes:
Moses have more than one wife.
the people or Israel were to fornicate with women of Madian, One brought one to the camp and took her to his tent.
Samson when to visit a prostitute. He did not like Israelite woman at all. just the philistines. but rule Israel for 20 years. so he rule the people but dislike his women, and goes for the pagans.
David committed adultery and homicide.
One son of David rapes his Sister. and after the rape, he hates her, not only rapes her but throw her out like rubbish.
Salomon the wisest men were silly enough to have 1000 wife’s and concubines.
The story of the Levite who prefers to sacrifice his concubine to sacrifice himself, and the coward does not even open de door to protect her after he send her to be raped to save his own life. the poor woman dies, for the rape or cold of night?
How go get a concubine? was a formal process, is all murky,
It seems to me that free sex for men and restriction for women was the rule, the girls have to be keep virgin, or face stoning. but the men is visiting concubines without rest.
after all this when is that the Idea of monogamy comes to life between the old and New testament?
