# ברוך<ref>Tosfot Brachot 46a s.v. samucha writes that Asher Yatzar starts with Baruch since it is a regular stand alone bracha and isn't directly connected to Netilat Yadayim, otherwise it wouldn't start with Baruch as it would be Bracha Hasemucha Lchaverta. Conceptually it isn't connected to Netilat Yadayim since one says it only after going to the bathroom and it wouldn't be said in the morning if one didn't go to the bathroom.</ref> אתה ה' אלוקינו מלך העולם אשר יצר את האדם וברא בו נקבים נקבים חלולים חלולים (ספרדים: גלוי וידוע לפניך) (אשכנזים וספרדים: שאם יפתח אחד מהם או) אם יסתם אחד מהם אי<ref>Mishna Brurah 6:4 cites a dispute whether one should say אֵי (as in the word אֵין) or אִי (as in אִי כבוד). </ref> אפשר להתקיים (ספרדים: אפילו שעה אחת) ברוך אתה ה' רופא כל בשר ומפליא לעשות.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 6:1. Mishna Brurah 6:2 adds that although Shulchan Aruch and Rambam only mentioned יסתם אחד מהם our text based on many rishonim is to first mention שאם יפתח אחד מהם. Mishna Brurah 6:3 comments that our practice is not to mention אפילו שעה אחת unlike Shulchan Aruch since some of a person's orifices can be closed momentarily and not be in danger. Mishna Brurah 6:5 quotes many achronim who say that one shouldn't say רופא חולי כל בשר just רופא כל בשר unlike Shulchan Aruch.</ref> | # ברוך<ref>Tosfot Brachot 46a s.v. samucha writes that Asher Yatzar starts with Baruch since it is a regular stand alone bracha and isn't directly connected to Netilat Yadayim, otherwise it wouldn't start with Baruch as it would be Bracha Hasemucha Lchaverta.

# Translation: Blessed are You, Hashem, our God, King of the Universe, that you created man and formed him with orifices and closed inner organs that (Sephardim: it is revealed before You) (Everyone: if one of them opened or) one of them closed a person couldn't live (Sephardim: even an hour).
