Aaron’s Benediction

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

24 The Lord (B)bless you, and [a](C)keep you;

25 The Lord (D)cause His face to shine on you,
And (E)be gracious to you;

26 The Lord (F)lift up His face to you,
And (G)give you peace.’

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