26 After that he said: “Let me go,* for the dawn has ascended.” To this he said: “I am not going to let you go until you first bless me.”+

6 And now do come, please; do curse+ this people for me, for they are mightier than I am. Perhaps I may be able to strike them and I may drive them out of the land; for I well know that the one whom you bless is a blessed one and the one whom you curse is cursed.”+

22 The blessing of Jehovah—that is what makes rich,+ and he adds no pain with it.*+
