The LORD spoke to Moses,
saying:
Speak to the leaders
and say,
Let this be the way
you bless My people, saying:
May the LORD bless you and keep you.
May the LORD cause His face
on you
to shine.
May the LORD be gracious
to you,
and lift you
into the image of God
and give you peace.
Shalom.
In this way, the leaders
may bless the people of God
with the Name of God,
and on each of them
the LORD’s own
“God bless” will rest.
Shalom.
