Isaac blessed Jacob with the following blessing:<sup>1</sup> <b>May God give you from the dew of heaven and from the fat of the earth</b>—the most fertile land—as well as <b>lots of grain and wine. Nations will serve you, and nations will bow down to you. Be a master over your brothers, and your mother’s sons will bow down to you. Those who curse you will be cursed, and those who bless you will be blessed. God Almighty will bless you and make you fruitful. He will increase</b> the number of <b>your</b> children and make you a large nation. <b>You will be a gathering of</b> many tribes; each tribe will be large enough to be considered a <b>nation. May He give you the blessing</b> that He gave to <b>Abraham, to you and to your descendants,</b> together <b>with you: to inherit the land you live in,</b> the land <b>that God gave to Abraham.</b> Before Jacob passed away, he blessed his children. He told Joseph the following: Your blessings come <b>from the God of your father, and He will</b> continue to <b>help you.</b> Because you were <b>with the Almighty,</b> you did not sin. <b>Therefore He will bless</b> you with <b>blessings of heaven above,</b> with <b>blessings of deep</b> places that lie <b>below,</b> and with <b>blessings</b> for women to be <b>pregnant,</b> have children, and <b>nurse</b> them. The <b>blessings</b> that I, <b>your father,</b> received from God <b>were</b> even <b>greater than the blessings</b> that my <b>parents</b> received. My parents were only promised the Land of Israel, whereas God blessed me that my children will reach <b>until the end of the hills of the world. May these</b> blessings <b>be given to the head of Joseph, to the head of the one who was separated from his brothers.</b> Moses told the Jewish Nation the following: God <b>will love you, and increase</b> the number of <b>your</b> children, <b>bless the fruit of your womb</b>—your children and the <b>fruit of your land—your grain, your wine, your oil, your cattle’s offspring, and the herds of your</b> flocks of sheep. You will receive all of these blessings in the <b>land that</b> God <b>promised your fathers to give to you. You will be blessed more than all the other nations; there will be no childless male or female among you or among your animals. The Lord will take away all sicknesses from you. He will not give you any of the serious diseases of Egypt that you</b> witnessed and <b>knew</b> about. Instead, <b>He will give them to all of your enemies.</b>
