Segment 1א׳

תּוּ אָמַר רִבִּי אַבָּא, מַאי דִּכְתִּיב, (בראשית כ״ד:א׳) וַיְיָ בֵּרַךְ אֶת אַבְרָהָם בַּכֹּל, כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (דברי הימים א כ״ט:י״א) כִּי כָל בַּשָׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ. וּכְתִיב כֹּה תְבָרַכוּ, דִּבְגִּינַיְיהוּ דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מִתְבָּרֵךְ הַאי כֹּ"ה עַל יְדָא דְּכַהֲנָא, בְּגִין דְּיִתְבָּרְכוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל לְתַתָּא, וְיִשְׁתְּכַּח בִּרְכָתָא בְּכֹלָּא וּלְזִמְנָא דְּאָתֵי (ס"א כתיב) כְּמָה דְאַתְּ אָמֵר (תהילים קל״ד:ג׳) יְבָרֶכְךָ יְיָ מִצִּיּוֹן וְגוֹ'. (תהילים קל״ה:כ״א) בָּרוּךְ יְיָ מִצִּיּוֹן שׁוֹכֵן יְרוּשָׁלַ ם.

Now, in the command “On this wise (KoH) shall ye bless”, it is signified that for the sake of Israel the very KoH is to be blessed by the priest, so that tsrael will be blessed below, and thus blessing will be diffused through the universe. As for the time to come, it is written, “The Lord bless thee out of Zion…” (Ps. 134, 3); as well as, “Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem” (Ibid. 135, 21).’
