Exegesis
The explanatory clause hoi gar hepta eschon autēn gynaika {οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα | hoi gar heptá éschon autḗn gynaîka} is introduced by the postpositive gar {γάρ | gár} ‘for’, presenting the rationale for the question: all seven men had possessed her as wife. Repetition of the noun for “wife” (gynē / gynaika) binds the question and its rationale tightly together. In translation, the partitive genitive is rendered with “of them” in the formal version to mirror the Greek structure, while the dynamic version uses “among them” to convey the same relationship more idiomatically, all while preserving the temporal and explanatory flow of the Greek clauses.
In context — Mark 12:23
In the resurrection , when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as wife .
