Exegesis
The closing clause anthropos me chorizeto {ἄνθρωπος μὴ χωριζέτω | ánthrōpos mḗ chōrizétō} uses anthropos generically for “a human being” and a third person present imperative with me {μὴ | mḗ} to express a standing prohibition: no human is authorized to sever what God has established. The English renderings follow this progression from result (their unity), to divine action (God’s joining), to ethical implication (the prohibition of human separation).

chorizochi–omega–rho–iota–zeta–omega
