ת"ר אלו ברכות שאדם שוחה בהן באבות תחלה וסוף בהודאה תחלה וסוף ואם בא לשוח בסוף כל ברכה וברכה ובתחלת כל ברכה וברכה מלמדין אותו שלא ישחה
Our Rabbis have taught : These are the benedictions at which a man bends low ; at the beginning and end of the "Patriarchs" and at the beginning and end of the "Thanksgiving." Should anyone come to bend low at the end and beginning of every benediction, we tell him not to do so.

Why did they say one short [Beracha (blessing)]? In the place where they said to be long, one is not allowed to be short, [and in the place where they said] to be short, one is not allowed to be long. [In the place where they said] to seal off [the Beracha], one is not allowed not to seal off, [in the place where they said] not to seal off [the Beracha], one is not allowed to seal off. [In the place where they said] to begin [the Beracha] with [the word] Baruch (Blessed), one is not allowed not to begin with Baruch, [in the place where they said] not to begin [the Beracha] with Baruch, one is not allowed to begin with Baruch. [In the place where they said] to bend down, one is not allowed not to bend down , [and in the place where they said] not to bend down, one is not allowed to bend down.
