| Matthew 19:5 | *For this cause, shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. Genesis 2:24.; 1 Corinthians 6:16.; Ephesians 5:31. | These words were pronounced by Adam. Genesis 2:24. --- And they two shall be in one flesh.{ Ver. 5. Erunt duo in carne una, duo eis sarka mian, in carnem unam, as Genesis 2:7. factus est homo in animam viventem. See Maldonat.|} I translate thus with submission to better judges; yet the sense may be, by a kind of Hebraism, they shall be esteemed as one person. (Witham) |
