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;(A)
25 may the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;(B)
26 may the Lord look with favor on you[a]
and give you peace.”’(C)

27 In this way they will pronounce my name over[b] the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
