Marcos 10:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:6

But from the beginning of the creation
Of the world, or of man: (Mlwe lv wtyyrb tlxtm) , "from the beginning of the creation of the world", is a way of speaking often used by the Jews ^F18: the phrase "of the creation" is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions; and so it was in Beza's most ancient copy, and it is only read, "from the beginning", as in Mt 19:4,8, (See Gill on Matthew 19:4), (See Gill on Matthew 19:8).

God made them male and female;
the first that were created, Adam and Eve, the first parents of mankind, the first couple that came together were one male and one female; so that there could be no polygamy or divorce: Adam could not have more wives than one: nor could he put away Eve, and marry another; no provision was made for any such usages and practices; (See Gill on Matthew 19:4). In the Complutensian edition, it is added, "and said", the following words.

4 —Moisés permitió que un hombre le escribiera un certificado de divorcio y la despidiera —contestaron ellos.

6 Pero al principio de la creación Dios “los hizo hombre y mujer”.

7 “Por eso dejará el hombre a su padre y a su madre, y se unirá a su esposa,

8 y los dos llegarán a ser un solo cuerpo”. Así que ya no son dos, sino uno solo.
