A blessing

This blessing prayer, one of the best-known prayers and a particular favourite for christenings and other church services, is often known as the Aaronic blessing. It is based on the blessing that God gave to Moses for Aaron and the other priests to use to proclaim God’s blessing to the Israelites.

The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face

to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his

countenance upon you and give you peace.

Numbers 6:24–26, NRSV
