The blessing for the people

22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me, 23 “Tell Aaron and his sons that when they ask me to bless the people, they must say,

24 ‘I desire that Yahweh will bless you

and protect you,

25 and that he will smile at you

and act kindly toward you,

26 and that he will be good to you [IDM]

and cause things to go well for you.’ ”

27 Then Yahweh said, “If Aaron and his sons ask me to bless the Israeli people, truly I will bless them.”
