23 “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is the way you should bless+ the people of Israel. Say to them:

24 “May Jehovah bless you+ and safeguard you.

25 May Jehovah make his face shine upon you,+ and may he favor you.

26 May Jehovah lift up his face toward you and grant you peace.”’+

27 And they must place my name upon the people of Israel,+ that I may bless them.”+

8 “At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Leʹvi+ to carry the ark of Jehovah’s covenant,+ to stand before Jehovah in order to minister to him, and to bless in his name,+ as they do to this day.

5 “And the priests, the Levites, will approach because Jehovah your God has chosen them to minister to him,+ to pronounce blessings in the name of Jehovah.+ They will declare how every dispute involving violence should be resolved.+

13 The sons of Amʹram were Aaron+ and Moses.+ But Aaron was permanently set apart+ to sanctify the Most Holy, he and his sons, to offer sacrifices before Jehovah, to minister to him, and to pronounce blessings in his name always.+
