Best Answer

Actually, Jews were permitted four, as are Muslims.

However, The Bible also requires that a man must provide for his wives and children, including providing for their emotional needs. In practice, it was so difficult and so rarely achieved that the rabbis banned the practice of polygamy over 1800 years ago.
