'Allowed' in the Bible

He told them, "It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not this way.

I am allowed to do what I want with my own money, am I not? Or are you envious because I'm generous?'

But be sure of this: if the owner of the house had known when during the night the thief would be coming, he would have stayed awake and not allowed his house to be broken into.
