Description

Usually when speaking about blessing (Hebrew: ברך) people think of an act by God towards people, but can God also be the object of this verb? Where? Compare at least two Bible translations to see how they deal with this usage.

This query looks for all occurences (clauses)where God is the object of the verb ברך. God can be called אל יהוה ,אדני ,אלוה and אלהים. The predicate could be placed either before or after the object in de clause. The amount of possibilities is 5 x 2 = 10 search-cases.
