Does God ever bless stones and things, or just people?
-
Moses killed a boy, and ran off as he was afraid of the consequences......
171
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey from the worst of forbidden actions to transverse actions wherein We did bless him- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).
172
And we gave Moses the Book, and made it a Guide to the Children of Israel, (commanding) "Take not other than Me as Disposer of (your) affairs."The above is just my understanding.

Your understanding of 171 has so many problems. I recommend the analysis of 171 here.
However, your poll question is reasonable. I assume you are referring to the word BaRaK/bless - if so, the question you ask is simple to check, simply go through each occurrence of this word and see if anywhere in Quran a thing/object is blessed.
Quranic research has never been easier for those sincere in seeking answers. In this case, use of an online concordance, of which there are many, e.g.

Well you know i am not an arab nor a linguist, but imagining the stories of conjoined ayah's and conjoined suras or stories within suras and taking into account the meanings from an arabic dictionary which make common sense of the stories, is the method i like using - it is simple and of course all this is made so much easier by your tools it is realy good stuff.

Yes, this is quite obvious from your "translation".
...and of course all this is made so much easier by your tools it is realy good stuff.
Tools are often only as good as their user.
As I said

Of course we can all learn to use them better or not at all or the the wrong way round , but a general education often helps rather then a specialisation - i find, as the quran isn't about dots and dashes but about life in general so people who know more of life will always understand it better - don't you think?
I find some people get lost in the details and can't see the wood for the trees
if someone can't see the wood for the trees, they are unable to understand what is important in a situation because they are giving too much attention to details After you've spent years researching a single topic you get to a point where you can't see the wood for the trees.
So tools are good but don't forget the overal theme.

Not "always", but certainly life-experience can be useful, as I highlight here
http//www.quran434.com/study-method.html
Life-experience is only one aspect of many aspects one should consider, e.g. Quranic grammar, which may prevent one from turning nouns into verbs, singular into plurals etc as in your translation for example.I find some people get lost in the details and can't see the wood for the trees
Of course that can happen, but so can the converse, i.e. a person may think they have the general idea of a verse, but pay little attention to the details which may prove to be important. But of course, determining importance of the detail can only be done by weighing of evidence, e.g. your translation comes with no accompanying evidence whatsoever, so not much determining can be done there.
