English Translation
3If you fear that you will not be able to deal justly with the orphans, then marry, of the women who please you, two, three, or four wives. If you fear that you will not be able to be just among the wives you have married, then be content with one, or with those you lawfully possess. This is more suitable so that you do not commit injustice.
