⁵⁵ and stood and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

⁵⁶ “Blessed be the LORD Who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised! There has not failed one Word of all His good promise which He promised by the hand of Moses, His servant!

⁵⁷ “The LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers, so that He does not forsake us or leave us,
