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.’

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
