1731. That 'he blessed him' means the enjoyment of celestial and spiritual things becomes clear from the meaning of 'blessing' as having the enjoyment of all goods, dealt with in 981, 1096. People who enjoy celestial and spiritual goods have the enjoyment of all goods, for it is from the celestial and spiritual that all goods of every description derive. The things contained in this verse announce and proclaim the conjunction of the Lord's Human Essence with His Divine Essence. The blessing itself implies it.
