¹⁵ May you have the blessing of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

¹ At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

⁵ For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

¹⁹ And blessing him, said, May the blessing of the Most High God, maker of heaven and earth, be on Abram:

⁷ Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water.

⁹ Not giving back evil for evil, or curse for curse, but in place of cursing, blessing; because this is the purpose of God for you that you may have a heritage of blessing.

³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us every blessing of the Spirit in the heavens in Christ:

⁴ Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

¹⁵ Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

⁵ Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

³ May the Lord, who made heaven and earth, send you blessing out of Zion,

⁸ Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

² Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

⁸ Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah.)

²⁶ And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

²⁷ Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

²⁸ And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.

²⁹ Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
