Core Text of Chazal / Classic Source

Core Text

יסף עליכם ככם אלף פעמים. מהו שוב ויברך אתכם כאשר דבר לכם? אלא אמרו לו, משה אתה נותן קצבה לברכותינו? כבר הבטיח הקדוש ברוך הוא את אברהם אשר אם יוכל איש למנות וגו', אמר להם זו משלי היא, אבל הוא יברך אתכם כאשר דבר לכם.

English: Rashi explains why Moshe adds a blessing beyond his thousandfold increase. Israel objected that the blessing sounded limited, while God's promise to Avraham was without bound; Moshe answered that the thousandfold blessing was his own, while God would bless them according to His promise.
