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 H1288-36
one endowed with blessing
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Pual stem (intensive passive), masculine singular participle, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Pual stem marks an intensive passive, and the participle form denotes a state; thus it describes a masculine singular individual who has been endowed with blessing or favor. The rendering preserves the root sense of conferring benefit while reflecting the passive participial morphology. |
