Numbers 6:22–27

THE PRIESTLY BLESSING

22 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. You should say to them,

24 “May the Lord bless you and protect you;l

25 may the Lord make his face shine on you

and be gracious to you;m

26 may the Lord look with favor on youA

and give you peace.” ’n

27 In this way they will pronounce my name overB the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
