Exegesis
Click the edit link above and to the right to add exegesis We know many ancient prophets had wives and concubines. This revelation mentions the 2 tiers of marriage and suggests how that can happen. Several times in the section, the Lord says wives are "given" to husbands. Verse 41 informs us that worthy wives, with a special "holy anointing," may righteously be with another man. In the case when a man and a woman are married eternally but are not "given" to each other, it makes sense that each is participating in a concubine type marriage. --Bernadette 00:19, 15 April 2012 (CEST)
