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.”
