Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Once more a voice issues from the interior of the temple (comp. Psalms 118:20). The priestly choir there stationed to receive the procession, blesses it as coming "in the Name of the Lord;" i.

e. for a religious purpose, and with pious intentions. We have blessed you, they say (or, rather perhaps, we bless you) out of the house of the Lord. "The house of the Lord is the fountain and the treasury of all blessing" (Hengstenberg).
