Song of Solomon 6:8
“Scripture recounts that some of the patriarchs had many wives at the same time; others took other wives when previous wives had died. The purpose of this is to indicate figuratively that some can exercise many virtues at the same time; others cannot begin those which follow before they have brought the former virtues…”

6Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn sheep, That have gone up from the washing, All of them bearing twins, And there is none barren among them: Thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, And thy speech is comely.
7Thy cheek is like the rind of a pomegranate, Being seen without thy veil.
— Song of Solomon 6:8 —
9My dove, my perfect one is one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and the queens will pronounce her blessed, Yea, and the concubines, and they will praise her.
10Who is this that looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, choice as the sun, Terrible as armies set in array?
