Translation:Mishnah/Seder Zeraim/Tractate Berakhot/Chapter 7/3/Translation


 * How does one convene?


 * With three say, “Let us bless”, with three and him, he says, “Bless”,
 * With ten say, “we bless our G-d” with ten and him, he says, “Bless”,
 * If there are ten or ten multitudes.
 * When there are a hundred, he says “Let us bless”, when a hundred and him, he says, “Bless”,
 * When a thousand he says, “Let us bless our G-d, G-d of Israel” when a thousand and him, he says “Bless”.
 * When with multitudes say, “Let us bless G-d, our G-d, G-d of Israel, G-d of legions, who dwells above the cherubim, for the food that we have eaten”,
 * With multitudes and himself, he says, “Bless”.


 * Like the way he blessed, they respond after him,
 * “Blessed are you G-d, our G-d, G-d of Israel, G-d of the legions, who dwells above the Cherubim, for the food that we have eaten.”


 * R’ Yosi the Galilean says, “According to the greatness of the assembly,
 * They bless as it says, ‘In assemblies you all bless G-d from the fountain of Israel.’”
 * Said R’ Akiva, “What do we find in the house of assembly?
 * The same for many as for the minority, say ‘You all bless G-d.’”


 * R’ Yishmael says, “You all bless G-d, the blessed.”
