What Is the Aaronic Blessing? | AskFOI

God gave Aaron and his sons a blessing to speak over the people of Israel: “The Lᴏʀᴅ bless you and keep you; the Lᴏʀᴅ make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you” (Numbers 6:24–25). What do these words mean, and why have they remained meaningful to the Jewish people for generations? Steve Conover talks with Tom Simcox about this priestly blessing. Tom explains its roots in the context of the chapter and what it reveals about God’s care, grace, and peace. He also explains how the blessing can encourage believers through difficult circumstances and whether it is appropriate to speak these words in a church service today.
