# General Information:

In verse 5, Jesus quotes from Genesis to show that a husband and wife should not divorce.

# He who made them also said, 'For this reason ... flesh'?

This is a continuation of the question that Jesus uses to respond to the Pharisees in [Matthew 19:3](./03.md). This direct quotation can be stated as an indirect quotation. AT: "And surely you know that God also said that this is the reason ... flesh" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

# For this reason

This is a part of the quotation from Genesis story about Adam and Eve. In that context the reason a man will leave his father and mother is because God created a woman to be the man's companion.

# join to his wife

"stay close to his wife" or "live with his wife"

# the two will become one flesh

This is a metaphor that emphasizes the unity of a husband and a wife. AT: "they will become like one person" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# So they are no longer two, but one flesh

This is a metaphor that emphasizes the unity of a husband and a wife. AT: "So a husband and wife are no longer like two persons, but they are like one person" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
