It can also refer to a benediction or expression of praise and thanksgiving to God. In the Hebrew Bible, "berakah" is used in various contexts, including blessings given by God to individuals or nations, blessings pronounced by people over others, and blessings as part of worship and liturgical practices.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, blessings were considered powerful and significant. They were often associated with covenants and promises from God, reflecting His favor and presence. Blessings were also integral to family and community life, with patriarchs and leaders pronouncing blessings over their descendants and followers. The concept of blessing is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, emphasizing divine favor and the fulfillment of God's promises.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1288.htm">barak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr., also a valley in Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beracah (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">בְּרָכָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1. proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>valley in wilderness by Tekoa</b></font>2Chronicles 20:26 (twice in verse);
