Section 49

And then the King of Ethiopia rose up to depart to his country, and he came to his father that he might pray on his behalf, and he said to him, “ Bless me, father ”; and he made obeisance to him. And the King raised him up, and blessed him, and embraced his head, and said, “ Blessed be the Yahuah my Elohim Who blessed my father Daviyd, and Who blessed our father Avraham. May He be with you always, and bless your seed even as He blessed Ya'aqov, and made his seed to be as many as the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea. And as Avraham blessed Yitsḥaq my father even so shall your blessing be - the dew of heaven and the spaciousness of the earth - and may all animals and all the birds of the heavens, and all the beasts of the field, and the fish of the sea, be in subjection to you. Be you full, and not lacking in fullness; be you perfect, and not lacking in perfection; be gracious, and not obstinate; be in good health, and not suffering; be generous, and not vindictive; be pure, and not defiled; be righteous, and not a sinner; be merciful, and not oppressive; be sincere, and not perverse; be long-suffering, and not prone to wrath. And the enemy shall be afraid of you, and your adversaries shall cast themselves under the sole of your foot. And my Lady Tsiyon, the qodesh and heavenly, the Tabot of the Torah of Elohim, shall be a guide to you at all times, a guide in respect of what you shouldst think in your heart and shouldst do with your fingers, whether it be far or near to you, whether it be low or high to you, whether it be strong or weak to you, whether it be outside or inside you, whether it be to you in the house or in the field, whether it be visible or invisible to you, whether it be away from or near to you, whether it be hidden from or revealed to you, whether it be secret or published abroad to you - to you our Lady Tsiyon, the qodesh and heavenly, the pure Tabot of the Torah of Elohim, shall be a guide.” And Daviyd was blessed, and he made obeisance, and departed.
