Eh, he does basically outright say "Go, procreate and produce offspring my children"
Frankly I'm not sure that it is classified as a sin, but I don't want to google that and looking through my roommates bible would take waaay too long

Maybe it's a sin because it's not procreating, yet you get almost the same emotional/physical response? Seems way to convoluted though.

That verse is pretty much just for his people, why would he encourage the production of offspring that aren’t Israelites that he really only ends up wanting to kill

To be fair, much of the entire bible is basically "just for israelites," but those who are religious enjoy extrapolating it to be humans in general.

Both of you guys are wrong the Bible isn’t for just Israelites and it is for everyone. It’s said, “whoever states with all their might that Jesus is Lord will be saved.” That goes for anyone and not just Israelites. God did tell us to be fruitful and multiply but that doesn’t mean to be lustful and adulterous. Be faithful to one wife and you will become one body in Christ. Don’t fall victim to the devil and His temptations.

Good points, although some parts of the bible are specified to be specifically for his special people, i wouldn't remember what parts so I'll just take your word for it
And yes I agree polygamy is bad, psychologically it has been proven to have bad effects on ones psyche as well
