Here are the Bible verses that emphasize the idea that those who bless Israel will be blessed:
1. **Genesis 12:3**
*“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”*
* This is the foundational verse, where God makes a promise to Abram (Abraham) about his descendants and their future.
2. **Genesis 27:29**
*“May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed.”*
* This is Isaac's blessing to Jacob, continuing the theme of blessing Israel.
3. **Numbers 24:9**
*“Like a lion they crouch and lie down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse them? May those who bless you be blessed and those who curse you be cursed!”*
* Spoken by Balaam, a prophet, as he blesses Israel.
4. **Deuteronomy 30:7**
*“The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.”*
* While it doesn’t directly state "blessing Israel," it implies the reversal of blessings and curses, with blessings for Israel and curses for those who oppose it.
5. **Zechariah 2:8**
*“For this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.’”*
* While not directly stating “blessing Israel,” this highlights the protective nature of God toward Israel and the consequences for those who harm it.
6. **Psalm 122:6**
*“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.”*
