The expression is repeated þÖëÖcÔíñÔõÖk
“Through you shall [the People of] Israel bless, saying: þÒôêÑññÑêÖþÐNÌ−CÑþÖëÐ−EÐa

19 Ber. 48, 20. Thus, the expressions CÑþÖëÐ−EÐa,EÐëe×ÐþÐëÌòÐî—In you [or with you] shall be blessed—refers to the one that is 176 Ber. Rab. 34, 9. 177 From the root þ¼ò [to stir]. 178 Ber. Rab. 34, 10; Y. Brachos 3, 5. 179 Repetition serves as
the personification of blessing. 20 Obviously souls cannot be made. Then what is this reference? 21 Ber. Rab. 39, an oath. (Shavuos 36a) 180 . . .again over the face of the earth. Yeshaiyahu 54, 9. 181 ¹½ê êñî ,¹½ê êñ 182 Shavuos
