7. They say to him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away.
7. They thought to take advantage by this against him, as contradicting Moses Law, and said, &c.
8. He saith to them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
