I'm only in Genesis, where Jacob has married Leah by accident, and then Rachel on purpose, and

then utilized two concubines and this all seemed sanctioned by God.

 

Is there a single turning point in the Bible where God draws the line over multiple spouses?

Abraham may have also had concubines;  he took Sara's handmaiden to have children with and produced the Arab tribes perhaps through Ishmael.  He may have had others after Sarah died.

This may be a bit out of context, but the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 3:2 did recommend one wife for those in church leadership. I'm not really sure where the practice of monogamy came into being for the early church body of believers though. God bless!

Shalom,

Reread genesis and you'll find God's plan formarriage there where as prommisespromises has already said. When God say a man will leave his family and join together with his wife. Note singular one wife.

Just because the bible records multiple wives, murder, incest, theft etc etc does not mean that God has approved of what his people are doing.
