Meaning of key verses in Numbers 6

Numbers 6:24

This verse begins the priestly blessing, which God gave to Moses for Aaron and his sons to speak over the people of Israel. It is one of the oldest blessings in the Bible; a version of it was found engraved on small silver scrolls dating from around 600 BC. "The LORD bless thee" asks God to pour out his goodness. "And keep thee" asks him to guard and protect. The full blessing continues in the next two verses, asking God to make his face shine upon us and give us peace. It is still spoken at the end of many church services, weddings, and birthdays.
