Who Said That?

"If any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse another, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else.  And if he have ten virgins given unto him by this law, he cannot commit adultery, for they belong to him, and they are given unto him; therefore is he justified."

These words, it is claimed, come from Jesus himself, speaking to his people through Joseph Smith's 12 July 1843 polygamy revelation on plural marriage and his demand that Emma Smith, the first wife, accept all of Joseph Smith's plural wives; The Doctrine and Covenants, 132:1–4, 19, 20, 24, 34, 35, 38, 39, 52, 60–62.  Lucky Emma . . .

Joseph Smith, the man who showed the world that taking golden tablets is bad for your mental health.

I'm leaning in favor of Smith, I seem to recall Muhammed limiting polygamy to four wives, but that could be my rusty brains.

I will go or the Emir of Kuwait, who gets up everyday around 4 in the morning, to tend his rose garden before meeting a recently delivered virgin, flown to Kuwait, from anywhere in the oil consuming world.
Surely, it must be good old Joe.
And please, don't call me Shirley.
