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.
8. And they ate and were satisfied. And there was an abundance of shirayim (Rebbe's remainders), sheva baskets [full].
9. And there were approximately arbaat elafim (four thousand [people]). And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent them away.
10. And ofen ort (immediately), having embarked onto the sirah (boat) with his talmidim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11. And the Perushim came out and began to argue with him, seeking from him an ot min HaShomayim (a sign from heaven), testing him.
12. And sighing deeply in his ruach, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Why does hador hazeh (this generation) seek for an ot? Omein, I say to you, no ot shall be given to hador hazeh (this generation).
13. And having left them, Moshiach again embarked and departed to the other side.
14. And his talmidim had forgotten to take lechem and did not have anything except one kikar (loaf) in the sirah (boat) with them.
15. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was giving orders to them, saying, Take care! Beware of the chametz (leaven) of the Perushim and the chametz of Herod.
16. And the talmidim were beginning to discuss among themselves that they do not have [any] kikrot (loaves).
17. And aware of this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Why are you discussing that you do not have kikrot? Do you not yet have binah (understanding) nor comprehend? Have your levavot fallen into timtum halev (hardening of the heart), KESHI (hardness, stubbornness, DEVARIM 9:27)? [YESHAYAH 6:9,10]
