Zohar on Tehillim 115 – Blessings
Tehillim 115:12
- "Ad-nai zecharanu yevarech" - (The L-rd will remember us and bless us) - this part of the psalm refers to the men, who were counted in the wilderness, since the L-rd blesses them each time by increasing their number;
- "Yevarech et Beit Yisrael" - (may He bless the House of Israel) - these are the women, who are called the House of Israel, and they were not counted in the wilderness;
- "Yevarech et Beit Aharon" - (may He bless the House of Aharon) - this means that the Kohanim bless the people with love and benevolence, with a generous eye and a kind heart. Why does it specifically mention the house? This hints that the women, too, received Aharon's blessings;
- "Yevarech yirei Ad-nai" - (may He bless those who fear G-d) - this refers to the Levites; they are all blessed because they fear G-d;
- "Ha-ketanim im ha-gedolim" - (the young with the great) - that is, the children were also blessed, despite the fact that the census applied only to men aged 20 and above.
(Zohar on Bamidbar, Sulam, Rabbi Tzvi Nisanzon)
