Marc 10:6

6 Mais au commencement de la création, Dieu ne fit qu'un homme et qu'une femme.

Marc 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.

Marc 10:6 In-Context

4 Ils lui dirent: Moïse a permis d'écrire une lettre de divorce, et de répudier.
5 Et Jésus, répondant, leur dit: Il vous a écrit cette loi à cause de la dureté de votre cœur.
6 Mais au commencement de la création, Dieu ne fit qu'un homme et qu'une femme.
7 C'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s'attachera à sa femme;
8 Et les deux seront une seule chair; ainsi ils ne sont plus deux, mais une seule chair.
