Genesis 14:19 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And he blessed him - This was a part of the priest's office, to bless in the name of the Lord, for ever. See the form of this blessing, Numbers 6:23-26; and for the meaning of the word to bless, see Genesis 2:3 (note).
