Exegesis
The temporal clause heos hou apolyse tous ochlous {ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους | héōs hoû apolýsē toús ó-chlous} uses the conjunction heos {ἕως | héōs} plus relative pronoun hou {οὗ | hoû} to introduce a future-oriented subjunctive apolýsē ‘he might dismiss,’ marking the crowd’s dismissal as the endpoint of the disciples’ passage. In translation, the two infinitives are rendered as finite infinitival phrases tied to “compelled” or “required” to preserve both the coercive force of enankasen and the sequence of actions, while the heos hou clause is adapted with “until” or “while” plus a finite verb to capture the temporal dependency naturally in English.
