v. 5 – There is little apparent difference between מֵאֵת and מִן in the present verse (rendered identically, for example, in the LXX, Jerome's iuxta Hebraeos and the Peshitta,[1] as well as modern translations). It may be hypothesized that the compound מֵאֵת is to be construed as communicating both the origin and comitative nature of the "blessing" (בְ֭רָכָה) as from with YHWH, though this is not certain.

  1. ↑ These versions are consistent with παρὰ, a and ܡܢ in both lines of the verse.
