Day 52 (Through the Bible in a year readings for today: Numbers 5,6; Mark 4:1-20)
PUT MY NAME ON THE PEOPLE
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.
So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.” (Numbers 6:22-27 ESV)
“The Aaronic benediction is still repeated in Christian worship. Note that the divine name Yahweh (LORD) is used three times in reference to the triune nature of God. What a blessing it is to know that God the Father blesses all aspect of our lives, that God the Son has redeemed us poor, miserable sinners, and that God the Holy Spirit calls us by the Gospel. He saves us by His name, applied to us in Holy Baptism and invoked by us throughout our lives.” (Lutheran Study Bible, CPH, 2009, page 225)
Link to a moving musical presentation of this verse:
Every time this blessing is proclaimed, the name of the Lord is placed on you and you are truly blessed by the Lord. So...
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. Amen.
