May you be blessed
This phrase is a benediction, a pronouncement of divine favor and well-being. The Hebrew root for "blessed" is "barak," which means to kneel, indicating a posture of receiving favor. In the context of ancient Israel, blessings were seen as tangible expressions of God's covenantal promises. The act of blessing is deeply rooted in the Abrahamic covenant, where God promises to bless Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12:2-3). This blessing is not just material but encompasses spiritual prosperity and divine protection.

by the LORD
The term "LORD" in all caps refers to the tetragrammaton YHWH, the personal name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenantal faithfulness. In the historical context, invoking the name of the LORD was a reminder of His unchanging promises and His role as the sovereign ruler over Israel. The use of YHWH here emphasizes that the source of blessing is not human effort but divine grace and favor.

the Maker
This title for God highlights His role as the Creator. The Hebrew word "asah" is used, which means to fashion or make. This term underscores God's sovereignty and power in creating the universe. In the biblical narrative, God's creative work is foundational to His authority and the order of creation. Recognizing God as the Maker reinforces the idea that all blessings flow from His creative power and purpose.

of heaven
Heaven, in the Hebrew "shamayim," refers to the skies or the celestial realm. In ancient Near Eastern cosmology, heaven was seen as the dwelling place of God, a realm of divine majesty and authority. The mention of heaven here serves to remind the reader of God's transcendence and His rule over all creation. It is a call to acknowledge the vastness of God's dominion and the heavenly origin of His blessings.

and earth
The earth, "erets" in Hebrew, represents the physical world and human habitation. By including both heaven and earth, the verse encapsulates the totality of creation. This duality emphasizes God's immanence—His presence and activity within the world. Historically, this reflects the biblical worldview that God is not distant but actively involved in the affairs of the world He created. The blessing from the Maker of both realms assures believers of God's comprehensive care and provision.

Verse 15. - Ye are the blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth; i.e. of the true Lord and God, the Creator of all things, visible and invisible.
