We look in depth at the story of Jacob and his wives, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, and Zilpah. What were their experiences? Is polygamy a blessing or a curse? Why was Jacob a polygamist? And what was the real reason Jacob (and Abraham) were not condemned for their polygamy?

Scriptures:

Genesis 28 - 33

Genesis 9:8, D&C 107 (Evidence against primogeniture)

Mosiah 3:19
