life I will not take me a wife
from the daughters of the seed

and walk in uprightness, and
not corrupt my ways for ever.”
11 And thereupon she lifted
up her face to heaven and
extended the fingers of her
hands, and opened her mouth
and blessed the Most High
Elohim, who had created the
heaven and the earth, and she
gave Him thanks and praise.
12 And she said: “Blessed be
the Yahuah Elohim, and may
His holy name be blessed for
ever and ever, who hath given
me Jacob as a pure son and
a holy seed; for He is Thine,
and Thine shall his seed be
continually and throughout all
the generations for evermore.
13 Bless him, O Yahuah,
and place in my mouth the
blessing of righteousness, that
I may bless him.” 14 And at

hands on the head of Jacob,
and said: 15 “Blessed art thou,
Yahuah of righteousness and
Elohim of the ages; And may
He bless thee beyond all the
generations of men. May He
give thee, my son, the path

of righteousness, And reveal
righteousness to thy seed. 16
And may He make thy sons
many during thy life, And
may they arise according to
the number of the months
of the year. And may their
sons become many and great
beyond the stars of heaven,
And their numbers be more
than the sand of the sea.
17 And may He give them
this goodly land -- as He said
He would give it to Abraham
and to his seed after him alway
-- And may they hold it as a
possession for ever. 18 And
may I see (born) unto thee, my
son, blessed children during
my life, And a blessed and
holy seed may all thy seed be.
19 And as thou hast refreshed
thy mother’s spirit during
†my† life, The womb of her
that bare thee blesseth thee,
[My affection] and my breasts
bless thee And my mouth and
my tongue praise thee greatly.
20 Increase and spread over
the earth, And may thy seed
be perfect in the joy of heaven
and earth for ever; And may
thy seed rejoice, And on the
great day of peace may it have
peace. 21 And may thy name
and thy seed endure to all the
ages, And may the Most High
Yahuah be their Elohim, And
may the Elohim
