בָּרַךְ

barak

bah-RAKH

to bless; also to kneel

Where it comes from

The same consonants give both blessing and kneeling. Blessing God and bending the knee are bound together in the word itself.

Psalm 103:1-2

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.
