Exegesis
The accusative phrase ton arton {τὸν ἄρτον | tón árton} “the bread” is further defined by the genitive tōn teknōn {τῶν τέκνων | tôn téknōn} “of the children,” a possessive genitive that frames the benefits of the covenant as belonging to the household “children.”
In context — Matthew 15:26
But He answered and said, “It is not right to take the bread of the children and to throw it to the little dogs .”
