The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

6:24 The LORD bless thee. This is the beautiful priestly benediction of Aaron, intended originally for the children of Israel, but often appropriated by Christians.


6:26 give thee peace. Two small silver scrolls with this priestly blessing (Numbers 6:24-26) inscribed on them have been excavated from a hill near Jerusalem. The inscription has been shown to date from the seventh century before Christ.
