פְּסָל לְךָ. זֶה שֶׁאָמַר הַכָּתוּב: בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר (משלי י, כב). זוֹ בִּרְכַּת אֱלִישָׁע בַּמַּיִם, שֶׁאָמַר: כֹּה אָמַר ה' לֹא תִרְאוּ רוּחַ וְלֹא תִרְאוּ גֶשֶׁם וְהַנַּחַל הַהוּא יִמָּלֵא מָיִם (מלכים ב ג, יז). מַה כְּתִיב שָׁם, וַיְהִי בַבֹּקֶר כַּעֲלוֹת הַמִּנְחָה (מלכים ב ג, כ). מִי שֶׁהוּא אוֹמֵר בַּבֹּקֶר, אוֹמֵר כַּעֲלוֹת הַמִּנְחָה. אָמַר רַבִּי תַּנְחוּמָא: שֶׁטֶף שֶׁל גְּשָׁמִים יָרַד בַּדָּרוֹם בַּבֹּקֶר, וּבָאוּ לָהֶם הַמַּיִם כַּעֲלוֹת הַמִּנְחָה. הֱוֵי בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר. וְלֹא יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּהּ (משלי י, כב), שֶׁלֹּא רָאוּ לֹא רוּחַ וְלֹא גֶּשֶׁם וְנִתְמַלֵּא הַנַּחַל מַיִם. Hew these two tablets (Exod. 34:1). Scripture states elsewhere: The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich (Prov. 10:22). This refers to Elisha’s prayer for water, when he said: Thus saith the Lord: Ye shall not see rain, neither shall ye see wind, yet that valley shall be filled with water (II Kings 3:17). What else is written there? And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of making the offering (ibid., v. 20). One who says in the morning also says “the time of the morning offering.” R. Tanhuma said: A rain storm occurred in the south and the water reached (the Temple) at the time the offering was made. Hence, The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto (Prov. 10:22). Though they did not experience either the rain or the wind, the valley was filled with water.
דָּבָר אַחֵר, בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר, זוֹ בִּרְכַּת אֵלִיָּהוּ בְּבֵית הַצָּרְפִית, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: כַּד הַקֶּמַח לֹא כָלָתָה וְצַפַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶן לֹא חָסֵר (מלכים א יז, טז). כַּמָּה כַּדִּין הָיוּ שָׁם מַסְפִּיקִין. וְכַמָּה טְחוּנִין קֶמַח הָיוּ, וְכַד הַקֶּמַח לֹא כָלָתָה. הֱוֵי, בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר, וְלֹא יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּהּ. שֶׁמִּתּוֹךְ בֵּיתָהּ הָיְתָה בִּרְכָתָהּ. Another explanation of The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich. This refers to Elijah’s blessing in the home of (the widow of) Zarephath, as is said: The jar of meal shall not be spent, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the land (I Kings 17:14). Though many jars were filled and much meal was ground, yet the jar of meal shall not be spent, etc. Hence, the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and toil addeth nothing thereto implies that she was blessed in her own home.
דָּבָר אַחֵר, בִּרְכַּת ה' הִיא תַעֲשִׁיר, זוֹ בִּרְכַּת מֹשֶׁה, שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא פְּסָל לְךָ שְׁנֵי לֻחֹת, וְהֶרְאָה לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מַחְצָב שֶׁל סַנְפִּירִינוֹן בְּתוֹךְ אָהֳלוֹ וּפָסַל מִמֶּנּוּ, וְאָמַר פְּסָל לְךָ, הַפְּסֹלֶת שֶׁלְּךָ, וּמִשָּׁם נַעֲשָׂה מֶלֶךְ. מִכָּאן אַתְּ לָמֵד, שֶׁכָּל הָעוֹסֵק בַּתּוֹרָה, פַּרְנָסָתוֹ מִן הַתּוֹרָה וּמִתְעַשֵּׁר וּמַצְלִיחַ. שֶׁכֵּן אָמַר לִיהוֹשֻׁעַ: כִּי אָז תַּצְלִיחַ אֶת דְּרָכֶךָ (יהושע א, ח). וְלֹא יוֹסִף עֶצֶב עִמָּהּ, שֶׁלֹּא נִצְטַעֵר לֵילֵךְ לְמָקוֹם אַחֵר, אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ אָהֳלוֹ זִמֵּן לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא. Another explanation of The blessing of the Lord it maketh rich. This refers to the blessing enjoyed by Moses when the Holy One, blessed be He, told him: Hew these two tablets. He revealed to him the quarry of sapphire that was in his tent. Hew these, He said: Hew some stone chips from it for yourself, and it will make you a ruler. From this you learn that everyone who devotes himself to the Torah acquires his sustenance from the Torah and becomes prosperous and successful. Thus He said to Joshua: For then thou shalt make thy ways prosperous (Josh. 1:8). And toil addeth nothing thereto indicates that it was not necessary for him to go elsewhere (to find it), for the Holy One, blessed be He, placed it in his tent.
