Numbers 6:22-27

22 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

23 "Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Yisra'el.' You shall tell them,

24 'The LORD bless you, and keep you.

25 The LORD make his face to shine on you, And be gracious to you.

26 The LORD lift up his face toward you, And give you shalom.'

27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Yisra'el; and I will bless them."
