Exegesis
The noun phrase ton nomon mouseos {τὸν νόμον Μωϋσέως | tón nómon Mōuséōs} ‘the law of Moses’ uses the article with nomon to denote the recognized Mosaic Torah. In translation, the infinitival construction is rendered with English finite verbs and infinitives to preserve necessity and coordination.
In context — Acts 15:5
But some who had believed, from the sect of the Pharisees, stood up and said, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
