'Bless' in the Bible

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

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.”

Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

Then Balak became very angry at Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and look, you have done nothing but bless them these three times!
