'Bless' in the Bible

“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.”

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.”

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

Then Balak told Balaam, “Don’t curse them and don’t bless them!”

Since Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless Israel, he did not go to seek omens as on previous occasions, but turned toward the wilderness.

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