Footnotes

  1. 82 The term בְּרָכָּה (bérakhah, “blessing”) refers to a gift, enrichment or endowment from the Lord.
  2. 83 Heb “of the Lord.” The term יְהוָה (yéhvah, “the Lord”) functions here as a genitive of source.
  3. 84 Heb “makes rich” (so ); “brings wealth.” The direct object “a person” does not appear in the Hebrew but is implied by the Hiphil verb; it is supplied in the translation.
  4. 85 Heb “toil.” The noun עֶצֶב (’etsev) has a basic two-fold range of meanings: (1) “toil; labor” which produces pain and sorrow, and (2) “pain; sorrow” which is the result of toil and labor ( 780 ). This is the word used of the curse of “toil” in man’s labor (Gen 3:17) and the “pain” in the woman’s child-bearing (Gen 3:16). God’s blessing is pure and untarnished—it does not bring physical pain or emotional sorrow.
  5. 86 Heb “with.”
