또 레위 사람 예수아와 갓미엘과 바니와 하삽느야와 세레뱌와 호다야와 스바냐와 브다히야는 이르기를 너희 무리는 마땅히 일어나 영원부터 영원까지 계신 너희 하나님 여호와를 송축할지어다 주여 주의 영화로운 이름을 송축하올 것은 주의 이름이 존귀하여 모든 송축이나 찬양에서 뛰어남이니이다
Tosefta Berakhot
The blessing after the meal is an obligation from the Torah, as it says “And you will eat and be sated, and you shall bless the Lord, your God, for the good land He has given you.” (Devarim 8:10) ’And you will eat and be sated, and you shall bless’ this refers to the blessing after the meal. ‘the Lord, your God’ refers to the first blessing on the land. ‘the good land’ this refers to Jerusalem, as it says “…this good mountain and the Lebanon.” (Devarim 3:25) ‘He has given you’ this refers to the blessing of ‘who is good and does good.’ From where do we learn that just as one is obligated to make a blessing before eating, so too they are obligated to make one after eating? The verse says ‘He has given you,’ meaning from the moment He has given it to you. From where do we learn that we bless even on the mountains and the hills? The verse says ‘on the land.’ From where do we learn that we bless even on the Torah and the commandments? The verse says ‘He has given you,’ and it says elsewhere “…and I will give you the stone tablets…” (Shemot 24:12) R’ Meir says ‘from where do we learn that just as one blesses on the good, so too they bless on the bad? The verse says ‘the Lord, your God…has given you’ “Your God,” meaning, “your Judge.” Bless Him for every judgement He passes on you, be it for the good or bad.
