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.”

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