Numerous scholars have argued that Leviticus 18:18 prohibits not just sororal polygyny (a polygamous marriage between a man and two women who are sisters) but polygamy generally. In this video, we unpack the historical and textual evidence that supports this view. We also address a polygamy advocate's objections to this interpretation.
18 Lessons To Learn from Noah's Ark
A) Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.
B) Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, Father might ask you to do something really big.
C) Don't listen to critics - do what has to be done.
D) Build on high ground.
E) For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
F) Two heads are better than one.
G) Speed isn't always an advantage. The cheetahs were on board, but so were the snails.
H) If you can't fight or flee - float!
I) Take care of your animals as if they were the last ones on earth.
J) Don't forget that we're all in the same boat.
K) When the doo-doo gets really deep, don't sit there and complain - shovel!
L) Stay below deck during the storm.
M) Remember, the ark was built by amateurs and the Titanic was built by professionals.
N) If you have to start over, have a friend by your side.
O) Remember that the woodpeckers inside are often a bigger threat than the storm outside.
P) Don't miss the boat --- to eternity!
Q) No matter how bleak it looks, there's always a rainbow on the other side.
R) “Stop what you're doing, and do what YHVH says!"
Daily Prayer
Blessed are You Adonai, our Salvation; to You be the glory and praise for ever. When we have erred and strayed, You seek us out; You love searches for us and desires to bring us home to the light of Your presence. As we rejoice in Your Son, our Redeemer and Shepherd, stir in us the same compassion for others as You have for us, that we may help to reveal Your glory in this world. Loving Father YHVH, we give You thanks that You have called us to share in showing Your love to the world. Bless all who are called to be pastors, priests, ministers, rabbi’s, teachers of Your Word and all who give evidence to Your grace. Give to Your Church a sense of mission and outreach, that it may share in Your redemption. We pray for all our farmers; all who provide us with food and the necessities of life. We ask Your blessing on all who are homeless or hungry tonight; we pray for refugees and asylum seekers, all who suffer from poverty and all who have a difficult financial problem. We thank You Father for our lives and all that we have. We ask Your blessing upon all our homes and our loved ones. We pray for our community and all who suffer from loneliness or the inability to cope with what is happening to them. Father, You are our hope and our strength and we come to You for refreshment, renewal and strength. Let all who feel fearful, all who are weak, all who are struggling, those troubled in mind and those in distressed in spirit turn to You. We ask Your touch on all who are ill, with a disability or on their death bed. We ask forgiveness for our sins, our bad thoughts and our shortcomings. We give You thanks and praise that through Your Son, our Master, we shall not perish but have everlasting life. We rejoice in the fellowship of all Your saints and we pray this prayer in the Name of our Adonai Yeshua Mashiach, amein.

Watching David's latest video, I had a number of thoughts. One thought was that when he flashed his list of references it was up and down so fast I had to backtrack and pause it to read it.
Second, David was dismissive of the fact that no penalty was listed for breaking Leviticus 18:18. The viewer needs to compare the list of penalties given in Leviticus 20 with the prohibitions of Leviticus 18. There is no penalty in Leviticus 20 for Lev. 18:18. Why is that?
Third David extols scholars that agree with him and dismisses scholars that contradict his narrative. I have to admit that scholars criticize earh other all the time. I have read a number of scholarly works and I know what the expected format is. Honest scholarship should acknowledge others' criticisms and address them forthrightly. David only calls Pete "my critic" and never acknowledges his name, whereas Pete calls him Wilbur. Pete Rambo is secure enough to acknowledge those who contradict him. David's insecurity comes through.
Fourth, David is terribly fond of the Qumran community. That community promoted ritual purity and was ascetic in some ways. He has dismissed the great Jewish sages such as Rashi, Maimon (Rambam), Nachmanides (Ramban). David ignores scholars that demonstrate that polygyny was much more common than we thought. If polygyny was as rare as as he implies via using the Qumran citation, then for what reason should Justin Martyr or Tertullian write their papers against polygamy and in favor of monogamy??
