20 Then Simon[a] came down and raised his hands
    over the whole congregation of Israelites,
to pronounce the blessing of the Lord with his lips,
    and to glory in his name;
21 and they bowed down in worship a second time,
    to receive the blessing from the Most High.

A Benediction

22 And now bless the God of all,
    who everywhere works great wonders,
who fosters our growth from birth,
    and deals with us according to his mercy.
