Numbers 6:22-27 The Message (MSG)
The Aaronic Blessing
22-23 God spoke to Moses: “Tell Aaron and his sons, This is how you
are to bless the People of Israel. Say to them,
24 God bless you and keep you,
25 God smile on you and gift you,
26 God look you full in the face
and make you prosper.
27 In so doing, they will place my name on the People of Israel—
I will confirm it by blessing them.”

Amplified Bible (AMP)
Aaron’s
Benediction
22 Then the LORD
spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the
way you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24
The LORD bless
you, and keep you [protect you, sustain you, and guard you];
25
The LORD make His
face shine upon you [with favor],
And be gracious to
you [surrounding you with lovingkindness];
26
The LORD lift up
His countenance (face) upon you [with divine approval],
And give you peace
[a tranquil heart and life].’
27 So Aaron and
his sons shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless
them.
