53. it also says it's between (or among, for you sticklers)
Jacob and Leah and Rebecca (with affairs with their maidservants on the side). Come to think of it, doesn't the Bible also condone cheating one's siblings out of their inheritance? Or discarding the mother of your first children when a better deal comes along - yeah, I'm looking at you, Abraham. And how many wives did Solomon have again?

I don't think Adam and Eve were married, but then again I was raised Catholic and we didn't do much Old Testament.
