Abraham was commanded to offer his son Isaac; nevertheless, it was
written: Thou shalt not kill. Abraham, however, did not refuse, and it
was accounted unto him for righteousness.

Abraham received concubines, and they bore him children; and it was accounted unto him for righteousness, because they were given unto him,
and he abode in my law; as Isaac also and Jacob did none other things
than that which they were commanded; and because they did none other
things than that which they were commanded, they have entered into their
exaltation, according to the promises, and sit upon thrones, and are
not angels but are gods.

And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse
a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her
consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have
vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.
