Exegesis
The next clause introduces the second key action with the future passive kollēthēsetai {κολληθήσεται | kollēthḗsetai} ‘will be joined’, taking the dative tē gynaiki autou {τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ | têi gynaikí autoû} ‘to his wife’ as a dative of close association, underscoring a bonded union rather than a loose connection.
In context — Matthew 19:5
And He said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and will be joined to his wife , and the two will become one flesh”?
