R. Chiya bar Ashi said in the name of Rav: There are
three things which follow on immediately - immediately following smicha is
slaughter; immediately following the blessing of redemption is the (Shemone
Esre) prayer; and immediately following washing ones hands is (Birchas haMazon)
blessing. Abaye stated: we too can (add
and) say: Immediately following Torah scholars is blessing, as it is stated
(Genesis 30:27) and Hashem blessed me (Lavan) on account
("b'glalecha") of you (Jacob).
The Eitz Yosef asks how the verse proves the immediacy of
the response. His answer is that the verse does not use the language of
"through you" ("b'avoreicha") but "b'glalecha",
from the root "gilgul, to turn around," with the implication that as
soon as one has reached his destination, he immediately turns around.
