JMNT(i)
12 Now the day started to be progressively declining (or: leaning and sloping down; = coming to a close), so upon approaching, the twelve said to Him, "Loose-away (Release; Dismiss) the crowd so that they, after going on their way into the villages and fields round about, can (or: may) loosen-down (= relax, camp or procure lodging) and should find food and provisions, because we are in a desolate (uninhabited; desert) place here."
