D&C132-
1 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you my servant Joseph, that inasmuch as you have inquired of my hand to know and understand wherein I, the Lord, justified my servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as also Moses, David and Solomon, my servants, as touching the principle and doctrine of their having many wives and concubines—
It is crystal clear from the outset what Joseph's enquiry was to the Lord...
I wonder how the prayer went?
Dear Heavenly Father
We thank thee for this day,
we thank thee for the food,
and the glorious sunshine,
I thank thee for my beautiful wife.
We ask thee to bless the sick
We ask thee to ask thy son to atone for our God given weaknesses,
We ask thee dear father, How can we justify our sexual desires to sleep with other women, who are not our wives?
Oh God tell me thy humble (but better than Jesus, because my followers wont part from me), servant Joseph Smith.
What I could possibly do or say to get many wives and Concubines, like thy servants Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, David and Solomon?
In the name of Jesus Christ
Amen.
Then the voice of Holy Ghost God comes to him in his mind.
And he dictates and the scribe writes it down.
Its now scripture.
