16May there be abundanceH6451 of grainH1250 on the earthH776 on topH7218 of the mountainsH2022; Its fruitH6529 will waveH7493 like the cedars of 49LebanonH3844; And may those from the cityH5892 flourishH6692 like the 50vegetationH6212 of the earthH776.17May his 51nameH8034 endureH1961 foreverH5769; May his nameH8034 produceH5125 descendantsH5125 5253as longH6440 as the sunH8121 shines; And may people 54wishH1288 blessingsH1288 on themselves by him; 55May allH3605 nationsH1471 callH833 him blessedH833.
