Jacob 2:30 - The Loophole That Never Was

The pro-polygamous LDS interpretation of Jacob 2:30 is textually and contextually ludicrous. There are lots of alternate interpretations, like that of the bloggers here (https://oneclimbs.com/2017/01/05/a-proposed-reinterpretation-of-jacob-230/) and here (https://bookofmormonism.com/2022/01/31/jacob-230-raising-up-seed-and-the-polygamy-question/). Almost any interpretation is more likely than the standard LDS definition, but naturally I like mine the best. Let me know what you think in the comments.
