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.”+

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.+

27 Finally the Levite priests stood up and blessed the people;+ and God heard their voice, and their prayer reached his holy dwelling, the heavens.
