OET (OET-LV) And the ones eating were four_thousand men, apart_from women and little_children.

OET (OET-RV) There were about four thousand families there.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:32–39: Jesus provided food for over four thousand people

In this section, Jesus miraculously provided food for over four thousand people. He did something similar in 14:13–21. In both of these stories Jesus began with only a small amount of food, but he caused it to miraculously multiply so there was enough for all of them to eat. Matthew told us the number of the men only, even though many women and children were also there and ate.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Feeding the Four Thousand (NRSV)

Four Thousand Fed (NASB)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 8:1–10.

15:38a

A total of four thousand men were fed,

A total of four thousand men were fed: The Greek indicates that, among the people who ate, only the men were counted.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

There were 4,000 men who were fed that day (NLT)

The number of men who ate was four thousand (GNT)

were fed: While the BSB translates this clause as passive, it is active in Greek, and in some languages it may be more natural to translate it as active. For example:

Those who ate were four thousand men (ESV)

15:38b

in addition to women and children.

in addition to women and children: The phrase in addition to indicates that women and children were there and ate, but they were not included in the count. There were probably as many women and children there as men. It is possible that there were even more women and children than men. Your translation should not imply that there were no women or children there.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

not counting the women and children (GNT)

in addition to all the women and children (NLT)

which didn’t include the women and children who also ate

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρίς γυναικῶν καί παιδίων)

Matthews uses the word But to introduce background information that helps the readers understand how amazing what Jesus did was. The word does not introduce another event in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: [As for how many people were there,] or [In the end,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

χωρὶς γυναικῶν καὶ παιδίων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οἱ Δέ ἐσθίοντες ἦσαν τετρακισχίλιοι ἄνδρες χωρίς γυναικῶν καί παιδίων)

Matthew means that the number he has given does not include women and children. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [which does not include women and children]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:32-39 The previous feeding miracle (see 14:13-21) was for Jews, whereas this one extended to Gentiles; it thus develops the theme of 15:27. Through this miracle Jesus demonstrated that he is the true bread of life (see 16:5-12; John 6).
