Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Neither shall he multiply {H7235} wives {H802} to himself, that his heart {H3824} turn {H5493} not away: neither shall he greatly {H3966} multiply {H7235} to himself silver {H3701} and gold {H2091}.
Likewise, he is not to acquire many wives for himself, so that his heart will not turn away; and he is not to acquire excessive quantities of silver and gold.
He must not take many wives for himself, lest his heart go astray. He must not accumulate for himself large amounts of silver and gold.
Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
