Excluding the monogamy–polygyny question does more than avoid controversy. It silences essential areas of Torah law, biblical marriage, covenant theology, inheritance, ecclesiology and pastoral practice.

Scripture honours celibacy, monogamy, and polygyny alike—so where God permits, no shepherd may forbid, and where God is silent, no pastor may thunder.
