Numbers 6:24
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;
25 may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’
