'Happy, fortunate' — the Beatitude word (Matthew 5:3-11, nine times), and the Greek Bible's standing rendering of the Hebrew ashrei (Psalm 1:1; Daniel 12:12). It declares an enviable CONDITION, not a blessing pronounced (that's eulogētos). KJV/Geneva/Douay 'Blessed'; this translation reads 'Happy,' with the NWT — the same call it made for ashrei. → first discussed at Matt 5:3
