“They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?”
They said to him: why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away? The Pharisees' counter-argument: if marriage is indissoluble, why did Moses command the certificate of divorce in Deuteronomy 24:1–4? The command language is significant: they say Moses commanded; Jesus will say Moses permitted.
