The Priestly Blessing

22The LORD commanded Moses 23to tell Aaron and his sons to use the following words in blessing the people of Israel:

24May the LORD bless you and take care of you;

25May the LORD be kind and gracious to you;

26May the LORD look on you with favour and give you peace.

27And the LORD said, “If they pronounce my name as a blessing upon the people of Israel, I will bless them.”
