The Key Word — בְּרָכָה, bir.Katgenerated
The word בְּרָכָה (berakah) is a feminine noun meaning 'blessing' and signifies a gift from God that brings prosperity. It is derived from the root that means 'to bless' and encompasses a range of meanings including praise and peace treaties. The parsing indicates it is in the construct state, linking it to יְהוָה (Yahweh), emphasizing that this blessing originates from God.
In this verse, the blessing is not merely a gift but a transformative force that enriches, highlighting God's role as the source of true wealth. The use of the construct form suggests a close relationship between the blessing and its source, reinforcing the idea that divine blessings are inherently good and beneficial.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which translates the key phrase as the blessing of the LORD enriches.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse comprises two main clauses, with the finite verb תַעֲשִׁ֑יר (it makes rich) governing the subject הִ֣יא (it) and the object עֶ֣צֶב (sorrow). The structure emphasizes the action of enriching and the negation of sorrow.
The second clause, beginning with וְלֹֽא־ (and not), introduces a contrast, reinforcing that God's blessing is devoid of negative consequences, which is a common feature in Hebrew poetry.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates בְּרָכָה as εὐλογία (eulogia), maintaining the meaning of blessing but possibly broadening it to include a sense of praise. This choice reflects the Greek understanding of blessings as both gifts and expressions of gratitude.
For יְהוָה, the LXX uses κυρίου (kyriou), which aligns with the Greek tradition of referring to God in a sovereign context, emphasizing His authority and relationship with His people.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "בִּרְכַּ֣ת יְ֭הוָה הִ֣יא תַעֲשִׁ֑יר וְלֹֽא־ יוֹסִ֖ף עֶ֣צֶב עִמָּֽהּ׃" which translates to "The blessing of the LORD enriches, and He adds no sorrow to it." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in meaning, as all eight words match in their word-by-word correspondence, although the order and articles may differ in the Greek translation. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls also align with the Masoretic Text, confirming the consistency of this verse across these ancient witnesses.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
