Thank you for posting Tyndale’s translation, it is helpful. There may be a few ways of understanding what the Lord means in the very first verses you’ve quoted, but I can see how your interpretation is at the very least seemingly consistent with...
Notice the wording of v 12, and how it is missing that last prepositional phrase. Ask yourself, if he is actually committing adultery AGAINST her, why wouldn't she be considered to be committing adultery against him. Also examine the Greek word...

It seems we've made an idol out of independence in modern culture, to the detriment of the family structure and bond. For me, part of polygyny isn't just about more marriages, it's about a model where strong families are built intentionally in...
In Genesis 31:33-34 we read that Jacob had his own tent, and each of his four wives also had separate tents. They were on a journey back to the home country however, separate spaces seems to be the practice with wives. Solomon made a separate...
