3 As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!
By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song `is' with me, A prayer to the God of my life.
`Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;
Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him -- length of days, Age-during -- and for ever.
and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.
and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son;
for the wages of the sin `is' death, and the gift of God `is' life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.
that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.
but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'
And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from Jehovah -- as showers on the herb, That waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men.
Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys `is' with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for ever!
`And we take, at that time, the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, which is beyond the Jordan, from the brook Arnon unto mount Hermon; (Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion; and the Amorites call it Senir,)
