SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:23
Habla a Aarón y a sus hijos, y diles: Así bendeciréis a los hijos de Israel, diciéndoles:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 6:23
Verse 23. On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel] The prayer which God makes for his followers, and puts into their mouth, we are sure must be right; and to it, when sincerely, faithfully, and fervently offered, we may confidently expect an answer. If he condescended to give us a form of blessings or a form of prayer, we may rest assured that he will accept what he himself has made. This consideration may produce great confidence in them who come with either prayer or praise to the throne of grace, both of which should be, as far as circumstances will admit, in the very words of Scripture; for we can readily attach a consequence to the words of God, which we shall find difficult to attach to the best ordered words of men. Take with you words, and turn unto the Lord. What words? Why those which God immediately puts into their mouths. Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously; so will we render the calves of our lips; we shall then give the sacrifices of which our lips have spoken, when we made our vows unto thee. See Hos. xiv. 2.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons , etc.] Aaron and his sons that succeeded him in all after generations, being the persons that were in a public manner to bless the people of Israel, they are particularly addressed, (see Deuteronomy 10:8 21:5 1 Chronicles 23:12); saying, on this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel ; in such manner and with such words as after expressed; standing upon an eminence, lifting up their hands on high, spreading out their fingers, and raising their voices, and pronouncing the blessing in the Hebrew language, in the name of Jehovah, with their face towards the people; all which, according to the Jewish writers f73 , were to be strictly observed; saying unto them ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-27 - The priests were solemnly to bless the people in the name of the Lord To be under the almighty protection of God our Saviour; to enjoy his favour as the smile of a loving Father, or as the cheering beams of the sun; while he mercifully forgives our sins, supplies our wants consoles the heart, and prepares us by his grace for eternal glory these things form the substance of this blessing, and the sum total of all blessings. In so rich a list of mercies worldly joys are not worth to be mentioned. Here is a form of prayer. The name Jehovah is thre times repeated. The Jews think there is some mystery; and we know what it is, the New Testament having explained it. There we are directed to expect the blessing from the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of the Father, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, 2Co 13:14; each of which Persons is Jehovah, and yet they are not three Lords, but on Lord __________________________________________________________________
