Exegesis
The repetition of the dative ochlō {ὄχλῳ | óch-lō} at the beginning and end of the verse frames the crowd as the focal recipient of Jesus’ provision.
In context — Mark 8:6
And He ordered the crowd to recline on the ground; then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, broke them, and began giving them to His disciples so they could set them before the crowd.
