Yahweh Blesses the Sons of Israel

22 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus (A)you shall bless the sons of Israel. You shall say to them:

24 Yahweh (B)bless you, and (C)keep you;

25 Yahweh (D)make His face shine on you,
And (E)be gracious to you;

26 Yahweh (F)lift up His [a]face on you,
And (G)give you peace.’

27 So they shall [b](H)invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will bless them.”

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.”
