Polygamy in Latter-day Saint scripture

Jump to Subtopic:

• 1835 Doctrine and Covenants denies polygamy—D&C 101 (original)
• Book of Mormon statements about the practice of polygamy

1. REDIRECT 1835 Doctrine and Covenants denies polygamy
2. REDIRECT Plural marriage in the Book of Mormon

Does the fact that Joseph Smith did not "multiply and replenish the earth" through his plural wives contradict a commandment given in Doctrine and Covenants 132:63?

Summary: Joseph Smith does not appear to have produced any children by his plural wives, except for Emma, yet, Doctrine and Covenants 132:63 states, "But if one or either of the ten virgins, after she is espoused, shall be with another man, she has committed adultery, and shall be destroyed; for they are given unto him to multiply and replenish the earth, according to my commandment, and to fulfil the promise which was given by my Father before the foundation of the world, and for their exaltation in the eternal worlds, that they may bear the souls of men." Why did Joseph practice polygamy, if it was not for the purpose of multiplying and replenishing the earth?
