Exegesis
The final infinitive apolysai, with its object autēn {αὐτήν | autḗn} “her,” clarifies the intended result of issuing the document: the dismissal of the woman. In translation, the Greek word order is slightly adjusted into a more standard English clause sequence (“They said to Him … Why then did Moses command…”) while preserving the logical connection introduced by ti oun and the legal nuance of the infinitival construction.
In context — Matthew 19:7
They said to Him , "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"
