The Benediction

22 The Lord told Moses 23 to speak to Aaron and to his sons and to tell them to bless the Israelites with these words:

24 The Lord bless you and keep you.
25 The Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you.
26 The Lord look on you with favor[a]
and give you peace.

27 In this way they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.
