Do you know the true roots of the Word Bless???

The English word Bless comes from the word Blót, Both Bless and Blót signify ';Blood'; which denotes the sacrificial aspect.





How has God Blessed your life??? ^_^ LOLDo you know the true roots of the Word Bless???
The various forms of the Hebrew words generally translated “bless” or “blessing” occur about 400 times in the Scriptures. The verb ba·rakh′ is usually rendered “bless.” In a few passages the word is rendered “wish . . . well” (1Sa 25:14); “congratulate” (1Ch 18:10); “greet” (2Ki 4:29). The noun form of the Hebrew word is found in the name of the Low Plain of Beracah (meaning “Blessing”), for it was here that Jehoshaphat and his people blessed Jehovah. (2Ch 20:26) A verb of the same form is translated “kneel” or “kneel down.”—Ge 24:11; 2Ch 6:13; Ps 95:6.





“The blessing of Jehovah—that is what makes rich, and he adds no pain with it.” (Pr 10:22) Jehovah blesses those whom he approves by protecting, prospering, guiding, giving success, and supplying their needs, with a beneficial outcome for them.
