Genesis 2:24
leaves <05800> [leave.]
unites <01692> [cleave.]
a ... family <0259 01320> [and they shall be one flesh.]
The LXX., Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Samaritan read, "they two;" as is also read in several of the Parallel Passages.
Matthew 19:5-6
said <2036> [said.]
<4347> [cleave.]
[Proskollao <\\See definition 4347\\>,] "shall be cemented to his wife," as the Hebrew davak implies; a beautiful metaphor, forcibly intimating that nothing but death can separate them.
and ............ and ... and ........ and ... two <2532 1417> [and they.]
God <2316> [God.]
has joined together <4801> [hath.]
[Zeugos <\\See definition 2201\\>,] "hath yoked together," as oxen in the plough, where each must pull equally in order to bring it on. Among the ancients, they put a yoke upon the necks of a new married couple, or chains on their arms, to shew that they were to be one, closely united, and pulling equally together in all the concerns of life.
