24 “When a ^(A)man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some ^[a]uncleanness in her, and he writes her a ^(B)certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house,

⁸ He said to them, “Moses, because of the ^(B)hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your ^(C)wives, but from the beginning it was not so.
