Genesis 3:16: Adam's role is to be Eve's master. The King James Version (KJV), New International Version (NIV), and Revised Standard Version (RSV) use the term rule to describe Adam's role over Eve: ...thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. The Living Bible uses the term master. The Modern Language Bible uses dominate. By implication, all of their descendents are would have the same power imbalance between spouses. * +

A man could marry (literally become the master of the woman) as often as he desired. In Genesis 4:19, Lamech became the first known polygamist when he took two wives. Subsequent men who took multiple wives included: Esau with 3 wives; Jacob: 2; Ashur: 2; Gideon: many; Elkanah: 2; David: many; Solomon: 700 wives of royal birth; Rehaboam: 3; Abijah: 14. Jehoram, Joash, Ahab, Jeholachin and Belshazzar also had multiple wives. * +

Genesis 16:2 : Sarah gave permission to her husband Abraham to engage in sexual intercourse with her maid, Hagar: Sarai said unto Abram...I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. Presumably this was done without the consent of Hagar, who had such a low status in the society of the day that she was required to submit to multiple r*pes at her owner's command. * +

Genesis 19:8: The men of Sodom gathered around Lot's house, and asked that he bring his two guests out so that the men can know them. This is frequently interpreted as a desire to gang r*pe the visitors, although other interpretations are possible. Lot offers his two virgin daughters to be r*ped instead: * +

He is recorded as saying: I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes. Yet, even after this despicable act, Lot is still regarded as an honorable man, worth saving from the destruction of the city. Allowing one's daughters to be sexually assaulted by multiple r*pists appears to be treated as a minor transgression, because of the low status of the young women. * +
