will be blessed
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 H1288-105
he will bless himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; Hithpael (reflexive) stem; imperfect; 3rd person masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Hithpael stem marks reflexive action, and the imperfect 3ms indicates future or incomplete aspect: "he will bless himself." This preserves the root sense of invoking or conferring blessing while reflecting the reflexive morphology rather than a passive sense. |
