Markos 8:7

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.

Markos 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:7

And they had a few small fishes
Which they also acquainted Christ with, and brought out unto him:

and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
It looks, by this account, as if the fishes were blessed, and brake, and distributed separately, alter the blessing, breaking, and distribution of the bread; and so the Syriac version renders it, "upon whom also he blessed"; and the Persic thus, "and he also blessed the fishes"; but, according to Matthew they were both blessed, and brake, and distributed together, as it is highly reasonable to suppose they were both ate together; (See Gill on Matthew 15:36).

Markos 8:7 In-Context

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.
