The Aaronic Blessing (Numbers 6:22�27)

The Aaronic Blessing (Hebrew, English and Transliteration) (Numbers 6:22-27)

Prayer

The Aaronic Blessing found in Numbers 6:22-27 is the the most famous blessing in the Torah (Bible):

"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 Shalom (peace)" (Numbers 6:23b-26).

YHWH commanded Aaron and his sons to pronounce this blessing, because He wanted to bless His children. We call it the Aaronic Blessing, the Jews have different name for it: Bircas Kohanim (Priestly Blessing). It is clear that in this blessing that is Elohim (God) who does the blessing. This blessing express the thought that we own all to Adonay who shields his people from all harm and grants them all things necessary for their welfare.

This blessing includes prosperity, children, security, land, happiness and health; the Lord is the source of all these things. When we enjoy health or succeed the grace of the Almighty is the powerful source of it. The Aaronic Blessing is not a magical spell, it is prayer from Elohin to us, to reminde us that nothing is possible without Him.

The pastor or Rabi will lift up his hand or hands and pronounce the blessing over the Kehilah (congregation) at the end of the services. It derives from the Psalm 134: 2:

"Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord!"

We should remember that the Lord is doing the blessing and not the one speaking it and the pastors or Rabi are but the means for transmitting His will.

There are some requirements for doing the Aaronic Blessing:

1) In Hebrew (Deut 27:11-26 and Joshua 8:33-35)
2) Standing (Deut 27:12 and Deut 21:5)
3) With Raised Hands (Lev 9:22)
4) Pronuncing the Name of the Lord (Numb 6:27 and Deut 12:5)
5) Facing the Kehilah (Num 6)
6) In high voice (Num 6 and Psalms 113:4)

Here is The Aaronic Blessing in Hebrew and English and a video about how it's done.
Note: remember that Hebrew is read from right to let, and that YHWH is change for Adonai

Why we use Hebrew names here

Messianic Jews - Nazarene love Elohim and use the original names of the Tanakh - Hebrew Bible in their daily prayers and in their congregations. The words "Jesus" and "Jehova" are not the original names that appear in the Tanakh - Hebrew Bible or the Greek New Testament. They are transliterations that all have use for so many centuries that almost become true. The real names are Yeshua and Elohim. Read More
