Exegesis
The prepositional phrase Heneka toutou {Ἕνεκα τούτου | Héneka toútou} ‘for this reason’ is fronted, giving causal emphasis and marking the statement as a theological explanation grounded in the creation account.
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”?
