_Numbers 6:24–27________________________
The Lord bless you + keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine
upon you, + be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance
upon you + give you peace.

“This cadenced threefold blessing came to play
a central liturgical role for both Jews and
Christians, probably began to serve
that function even in the biblical
period.“ - Robert Alter
