72:15-17 May All Peoples Be Blessed in Him. With such a king, Israel would see its crops and people flourish, and the rest of the world would indeed come to know the true God. Long may he live, and may his name endure forever, indeed!
72:17 be blessed in him, all nations. The wording of this closely follows Gen. 22:18, "in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed," speaking of a particular offspring (the Messiah; cf. note on Gen. 22:15-18).
