Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in this verse is בָּר֧וּךְ, will be blessed, which governs the entire sentence. The structure lists several noun phrases that describe what will be blessed: the fruit of the womb, the produce of the land, and the offspring of livestock.

In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
