וַאֲבָֽרֲכָה֙ מְבָ֣רְכֶ֔יךָ וּמְקַלֶּלְךָ֖ אָאֹ֑ר וְנִבְרְכ֣וּ בְךָ֔ כֹּ֖ל מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ת הָאֲדָמָֽה׃
At pagpapalain ko ang mga nagpapala sa iyo, at ang sumusumpa sa iyo ay susumpain ko; at sa pamamagitan mo ay pagpapalain ang lahat ng mga angkan ng lupa.
Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing
The priest who does not go up to the platform to bless the people, although he has neglected to fulfill one affirmative precept, is accounted as having transgressed three affirmative precepts, for it is said, "On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel"; "Ye shall say unto them"; "So shall they put my name" (Numbers 6:22-27). Any priest who does not bless the people is not blessed. Every priest who blesses them is blessed, for it is said, "I will bless them that bless thee" (Genesis 12:3). Blessed be the All-Merciful who hath helped us.
