I have indeed received a command to bless;
since He has blessed, I cannot change it.

He crouches, he lies down like a lion
or a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
Those who bless you will be blessed,
and those who curse you will be cursed.

Please come and put a curse on these people for me because they are more powerful than I am. I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that those you bless are blessed and those you curse are cursed.”

“Tell Aaron and his sons how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

May Yahweh bless you and protect you;

In this way they will pronounce My name over the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
