Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 187 — English translation

Translation: Sefaria Community Translation. Section numbers match the Hebrew text above.

1. 1Details of the text of the blessing after meals. Containing 4 subsections. Some say "Blessed is the one who satisfies the hungry". One should not say this, and the one who adds it detracts. If one said in place of the [first] blessing of nourishment, "Blessed is the Merciful One, Ruler of the World, Master of this bread", they have fulfilled their obligation. Some say that they must conclude "Blessed is the Merciful One, who Nourishes All."
2. 2In the [second] blessing of the land, according to the Ro"sh one should not say "Who has caused our ancestors to inherit a good and pleasant land...". Covenant and Torah - for behold, one says "For Your Covenant which is sealed in our flesh, and for Your Torah which you have taught us" - and it's enough [to have said it] just once. And the Rambam disagrees. [Rem"a: and the words of the Ro"sh are most important] .
3. 3If one did not mention covenant and Torah in the blessing of the land, or even missed only one of them, we return them. Rem"a: and women and slaves do not mention covenant and Torah, for women are not members of the covenant, and slaves are not members of the Torah. (Kol Bo)
4. 4If one did not mention the kingship of the house of David in the blessing of The One Who Rebuilds Jerusalem, we return them. Rema: And we say On the Miracles during Chanukah and Purim, before And On All..., and if one did not say these, we do not return them. (Tur). And in any case it is possible to say them in the rest of the May The Merciful One section, and say May The Merciful One Perform For Us Miracles Like They Did In Those Days... and so we are accustomed. (Kol Bo)
