The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked,(A)
the God who has been my shepherd(B) all my life to this day,
16 the angel who has redeemed me from all harm(C)—
may he bless these boys.
And may they be called by my name
and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac,(D)
and may they grow to be numerous within the land.
