22 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

24 May Yahweh bless you and protect you;(A)
25 may Yahweh make His face shine on you
and be gracious to you;(B)
26 may Yahweh look with favor on you[a]
and give you peace.[b](C)

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