Numbers 6:24
Numbers 6:24-26
May the LORD bless you and keep you; may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.
Berean Standard Bible · public domain
Numbers 6 records the LORD's instructions to Moses: this is how Aaron and his sons are to bless the people of Israel. The blessing has three lines, each beginning with the LORD's name — a triadic structure the church has prayed and sung for three thousand years. To bless and keep is provision and protection; the face shine is favor; the countenance lifted is the LORD's personal attention turned toward his people. The benediction that closes countless services traces back to this paragraph.
