you may bless me
To bless, to endow with power for success, prosperity, fertility, or longevity; to recognize, affirm, or invoke divine favor or well-being. In its most typical sense, בָרַךְ refers to the act of conferring a benefit, either from a divine figure to a human or from one human to another, often formally recognizing favor or good fortune. Less commonly, the term can be used in euphemistic contexts to mean 'curse,' usually as a deliberate circumlocution in prohibitive formulas or legal settings.

SIBI-P1 Translation H1288-40
she will bless me
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Piel stem, imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd person feminine singular with 1st person common singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Piel stem conveys the active bestowal or invocation of blessing, and the imperfect 3rd feminine singular form with a 1st common singular suffix indicates 'she' as subject acting upon 'me.' The rendering preserves both the intensive blessing sense and the feminine singular morphology. |
