v. 3b-c – The article on הַבְּרָכָ֑ה anticipates the specific nature as spelled out by the following apposition, in which "The second member specifies the substance of the first member."[1] Alternatively, the blessing is already obvious from the agricultural contextual domain activated by טַל "dew," life-giving liquid.

  1. ↑ BHRG §29.3. As commented by Ḥakham regarding the "life everlasting": "זאת הברכה שצוה ה׳ בציון" (This is the blessing which God appointed in Zion"; 1979, 479).
