“The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
The Angel who has delivered me from all harm — may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly on the earth. The Angel who has delivered — the same presence who wrestled with Jacob at Peniel and protected him through twenty years in Harran — is the deliverer invoked over the grandsons. The application: the blessing that calls on the Angel of the LORD to deliver the next generation is the blessing that connects the children to the covenant guardian who protected the patriarch.
