Genesis 4:16-19
Excerpted from: The Two Shall become One

I think the important point is just because something is recorded in the Bible does not make it law, does not mean that God endorsed it. Now, if God says thou shall do this, of course, that is law. But if we record somebody making a mistake, we learn from that just like if we record something that is a good deed. Like we saw Abigail (we heard about that from Ronny earlier) we learn from that. So let us go back to Genesis 4. I want to look at the first example of multiple wives because I really think we could probably stop here.

So Lamech, the great, great grandson of (or fifth generation I believe) from Cain (who was the first murderer) is the first documented man to have more than one wife. Now, Richard always points out the importance of the first instance in the Bible and so we might could stop here really because this is the first instance. And let us read on, let us just read about this Lamech for a minute.
