The word "blessing" which first appears in the Bible is when Elohim blesses the creatures He created to reproduce and multiply in water and the air (Genesis 1:22). Elohim blessed humans to rule over nature and all creation (Genesis 1:28). Elohim blessed the Sabbath (Genesis 2: 3), he blessed people like Abraham (Genesis 12: 2-3; 18:18), Jacob (Genesis 28:14). Through Abraham, Elohim blesses his descendants and the nations. Blessings become ‘human life’ (Genesis 1:28). This research seeks to answer the questions: How does The Pentateuch speak of Elohim's Promise as a source of blessings? How does The Pentateuch speak of the authority of blessings? How does The Pentateuch speak of the purpose of a blessing? What about The Pentateuch is special? Talking about forms of blessing? How does The Pentateuch speak of the qualifications for blessings?. The results of Elohim's blessings can be divided into three major groups: (1) spiritual blessings are blessings related to powers that are beyond human strength, such as the blessing of salvation and the blessing of peace. (2) physical blessings are blessings that include physical needs (clothing, food, shelter, and health), such as blessings of long life, blessings of salvation, blessings of peace, blessings of flesh (blessings of long life, blessings of radiant faces), blessings of offspring, thanks to protection, thanks to wealth, thanks to prosperity, thanks to health, and thanks to honor. (3) The Blessing of Faith is a blessing given by Elohim because of his faith (belief; commitment), such as the blessing of obedience, the blessing of loving Elohim, the blessing of worshiping Elohim, and the blessing of influence.

In 2021, Drew Longacre applied a stylistic paleographic analysis to thirty-five Dead Sea scrolls to propose conventional usage registers for different types and levels of scripts. His article has been published by Vetus Testamentum. Longacre’s research, however, has not included hodayot manuscripts. Hodayot manuscripts are the collection of approximately thirty thanksgiving psalms to the Lord. Since the opening phrase of these manuscripts is blessing the Lord, Sukenik names them as hodayot or thanksgiving Psalms in Hebrew. Hodayot, in Hebrew connotes thanksgiving Psalms, Hodayot is a significant resource for understanding the piousness and religious devotion of those who composed and then recited them. The importance of hodayot manuscripts is thus significant to help us to comprehend the devotion and religious reverence of the community in a particular context and culture. This article attempts to apply a stylistic paleographic analysis to hodayot manuscripts in order to revisit the dating of these manuscripts such as 1QHa, 1QHb, 4QHa (4Q427), 4QHb (4Q428), 4QHc (4Q429), 4QHd (4Q430), 4QHe (4Q431), and 4QpapHf (4Q432). This research is a combination of the text of Dead Sea scrolls (Hodayot) with a stylistic paleographic analysis.
