¹⁵ Blessed are you by Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.

¹ In the beginning God{After "God," the Hebrew has the two letters "Aleph Tav" (the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet) as a grammatical marker.} created the heavens and the earth.

⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens.

¹⁹ He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

⁷ He said with a loud voice, "Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!"

⁹ not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;

⁴ even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

¹⁵ "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them; Who keeps truth forever;

³ May Yahweh bless you from Zion; Even he who made heaven and earth.

⁸ Our help is in the name of Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.

² My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.

⁸ Salvation belongs to Yahweh. Your blessing be on your people. Selah.

²⁶ The man said, "Let me go, for the day breaks." Jacob said, "I won't let you go, unless you bless me."

²⁷ He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

²⁸ He said, "Your name will no longer be called 'Jacob,' but, 'Israel,' for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed."

²⁹ Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." He said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" He blessed him there.
