to kneel in blessing him

Rootברך (b-r-k)
Core Meaningskneeling, blessing, invoking favor, bestowing benefit
Semantic Rangeto kneel; to bless; to invoke divine favor; to bestow benefit; to praise; in rare euphemistic contexts, to curse
Conceptual Significanceברך expresses both physical posture and covenantal action—kneeling before God in reverence and invoking or conferring divine favor. It reflects relational dynamics of honor, worship, and the transmission of blessing within Israel’s theological worldview.
Morphological NotesQal infinitive construct with prefixed לְ ("to") and 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix וֹ ("him").
Rendering RationaleThe root ברך fundamentally conveys kneeling and, by extension, bestowing blessing or benefit. Rendering it as "to kneel in blessing him" preserves the embodied imagery of kneeling while reflecting the Qal infinitive construct with the 3rd masculine singular suffix ("him").
