It is often associated with prosperity, protection, and well-being. The concept of blessing is deeply rooted in the narrative of Scripture, beginning with the creation account and extending throughout the biblical text.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>The Hebrew word for blessing, "&#1489;&#1512;&#1499;&#1492;" (berakah), appears frequently in the Old Testament. The first instance of blessing occurs in <a href="/genesis/1-22.htm">Genesis 1:22</a>, where God blesses the creatures of the sea and the birds, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters of the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." This initial blessing establishes a pattern of fruitfulness and multiplication that is reiterated in God's blessing to humanity in <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a>: "God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.'"<br><br>The patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are central figures in the narrative of blessing. God's covenant with Abraham includes the promise of blessing: "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing" (<a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2</a>). This covenantal blessing is not only for Abraham and his descendants but is intended to extend to "all the families of the earth" (<a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>).<br><br>The blessings pronounced by the patriarchs, such as Isaac's blessing of Jacob (Genesis 27) and Jacob's blessings over his sons (Genesis 49), carry significant weight and often determine the future trajectory of the recipients. These blessings are seen as prophetic and authoritative, shaping the destiny of the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word for blessing, "&#949;&#8016;&#955;&#959;&#947;&#943;&#945;" (eulogia), continues the theme of divine favor. Jesus Christ, in His Sermon on the Mount, articulates the Beatitudes, a series of blessings that describe the character and rewards of those who follow Him: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (<a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3</a>). These blessings emphasize spiritual virtues and the eschatological hope of the kingdom of God.<br><br>The apostle Paul frequently speaks of blessings in his epistles, often linking them to the spiritual blessings found in Christ. In <a href="/ephesians/1-3.htm">Ephesians 1:3</a>, Paul writes, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms." This passage highlights the comprehensive nature of the blessings available to believers through their union with Christ.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Blessings in the Bible are not merely material or temporal but are deeply spiritual and relational. They signify God's favor and presence, often accompanied by a call to obedience and faithfulness. The ultimate blessing is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, through whom believers receive the promise of eternal life and reconciliation with God.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, blessings are both a gift and a responsibility. Those who are blessed are called to be a blessing to others, reflecting God's character and purposes in the world. This principle is encapsulated in the Abrahamic covenant and finds its fulfillment in the mission of the Church to spread the gospel and extend God's blessings to all nations.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Blessing</span><p>Referring both to God and to man. When God blesses, he bestows that efficacy which renders his blessing effectual. His blessings are either temporal or spiritual, bodily or mental; but in every thing they really convey the good which they import, <a href="/context/numbers/6-23.htm">Numbers 6:23-27</a>. The blessings of men to other men, unless they be inspired prophecies, as in <a href="/genesis/32-32.htm">Genesis 32:32</a> De 33:1:1:1-29, are only good wishes, personal or official, and as it were a peculiar kind of prayer to the Author of all good for the welfare of the subject of them. Blessing, on the part of man towards God, is an act of thanks-giving for his mercies, <a href="/psalms/103-1.htm">Psalm 103:1</a>; or rather, for that special mercy which at the time occasions the act of blessing: as for food, for which thanks are rendered to God, or for any other good, <a href="/psalms/116-13.htm">Psalm 116:13</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm">1 <a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm">1 Corinthians 10:16</a></a>. </p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Sometimes it means the good or the benefit itself which has been conferred, as in <a href="/genesis/27-36.htm">Genesis 27:36</a>, "Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?" and <a href="/proverbs/10-22.htm">Proverbs 10:22</a>, "The blessing of Yahweh, it maketh rich." "The cup of blessing" (to poterion tes eulogias, a special use of the word in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm">1 Corinthians 10:16</a>), means the cup for which we bless God, or which represents to us so much blessing from God.<br><br>James M.

The suggestion that it carries with it a higher significance, as a cup that brings blessing, is not without force. The succeeding words, "we bless," are equivalent to "for which we give thanks."
