The Priestly Blessing

22 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘You will bless the Israelites:[a] You will say to them:

24 Yahweh will bless you
    and keep you;
25 Yahweh will make shine his face on you
    and be gracious to you;
26 Yahweh will lift up his face upon you,
    and he will give you peace.’

27 And they will put my name on the Israelites,[b] and I will bless them.”

On Blessing the Israelis

22 Later, the Lord told Moses, 23 “Teach Aaron and his sons to bless the Israelis:

24 May the Lord bless you
    and guard you.
25 May the Lord’s face enlighten you
    and bestow favor on you.
26 May the Lord turn to face you,
    lavishing peace on you!

27 They are to pour out my name to the Israelis while I continue to bless them.”
