Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros tēn sklērokardian hymōn {πρὸς τὴν σκληροκαρδίαν ὑμῶν | prós tēn sklē-ro-kar-dí-an hy-môn} precedes the main verb epetrepsen {ἐπέτρεψεν | e-pé-trep-sen}, placing rhetorical emphasis on the cause (“because of your hardness of heart”) before the permission itself.
The infinitive apolysai {ἀπολῦσαι | a-po-lý-sai} functions as the complement of epetrepsen, specifying the concrete action Moses allowed, while tas gynaikas hymōn {τὰς γυναῖκας ὑμῶν | tas gy-nái-kas hy-môn} is the direct object of the infinitive.
In context — Matthew 19:8
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart , Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been this way.”
