Hello Professor, I have a question about the dagesh in this phrase "אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ בֵּֽרַכְךָ֔ " contained in Deuteronomy 15.6. Why is there a dagesh in the vet of בֵּֽרַכְךָ֔ since it is preceeded by a vowell. Is the dagesh always there with second radical reish in Piel? Thank you for any insight, I have been trying to figure this out. I know that reish does not take dagesh and I recognize the lengthening going on with the first bet.

כִּֽי־יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ בֵּֽרַכְךָ֔ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־לָ֑ךְ וְהַֽעֲבַטְתָּ֞ גּוֹיִ֣ם רַבִּ֗ים וְאַתָּה֙ לֹ֣א
The accent on אלהיך is disjunctive; that separates the vowel from the ב.
Thank you very much for the explanation, it was driving me crazy, have a god day.
