Exegesis
The cardinal dōdeka {δώδεκα | dṓdeka} modifies kophinous {κοφίνους | kophínous} “baskets,” and the adjective plēreis {πλήρεις | plḗreis} qualifies them as full. In translation, preserving kai as “and” maintains the link between clauses, while English word order clarifies the progression from universal eating to full satisfaction and the striking image of twelve baskets of leftovers.
In context — Matthew 14:20
And all of them ate and were satisfied, and they collected what was left over of the fragments , twelve baskets full.
