   In Mark 10:4 and Matthew 19:7, the genitive singular neuter form occurs in statements about Moses permitting or commanding the giving or writing of such a document before putting a wife away. In Matthew 5:31, the accusative singular neuter form appears in the instruction that whoever releases his wife should give it; the APB renders the clauses with “scroll of divorce” or “certificate of divorce.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the three verses, the APB presents the relevant document as a “scroll of divorce” in Mark 10:4 and a “certificate of divorce” in Matthew 19:7 and Matthew 5:31. These phrases confirm the clause-level presentation rather than establish a separate nuance.
