Numbers 5 & 6, Luke 2: 1-20, Psalm 45: 1-9
Numbers 6: 22-26 (ESV)
“The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his
sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them,
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.”
When I read verses 22 through 26 from Numbers 6, I started
thinking of the song “The Blessing” by Elevation Worship. Kari Jobe said the
lyrics of the song came from scripture, but they don’t mention the Bible
reference. They added so much to these verses that my Bible calls “Aaron’s
Blessing”. Aaron spoke the blessing, but the words of the blessing came directly
from God. I love that God gave Moses the words to this blessing and that every
time I hear and sing this song, I will remember these words came from God.
Enjoy Elevation Worship’s version of Aaron’s Blessing.
