Exegesis
The infinitives labein {λαβεῖν | labeîn} “to take” and balein {βαλεῖν | baleîn} “to throw” are complementary infinitives functioning as the conceptual subjects of estin, joined by kai {καὶ | kaí} to describe a two-step action that is judged improper.
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 .”
