Markos 8:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. In yamim hahem (those days), again, when there was a great multitude and they had no okhel (food), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called his talmidim, and says to them,

2. I have rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy, compassion) on the multitude, because they already shlosha yamim (three days) have remained with me and they do not have anything they may eat;

3. And if I send them away hungry to their batim (houses), they will give out on the way; and some of them have come from far away.

4. And his talmidim answered him, From where will anyone be able to find enough lechem to feed these ones here in the midbar? [BAMIDBAR 11:21]

5. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was asking them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Shevah.

6. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach directed the multitude to recline at tish, as it were, on the ground. And having taken the sheva kikrot (loaves), he made a bracha, saying the ha-Motzi, and offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread) and was giving [them] to his talmidim to serve to them, and they served the multitude.

7. And they also had a few small dagim. And after he had made the bracha over them, he directed these to be served as well.
