Blessing in the Old Testament

Blessing in the Old Testament is pronouncing a wish or a prayer over a person or thing. The blessing brings prosperity and strength, enables a good future and seals the connection between the generations. A good example is the blessing that Jacob pronounces over his twelve sons (Genesis 49:1-28). In that blessing, Jacob describes all his sons and outlines their future (see also Deuteronomy 33).
