Numbers 6:26
24 ‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;
25 may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’
27 So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
