The following Blessing, with which the Priest dismissed the People after the daily Sacrifice, by God's especial Order (Numb. vi. 24.) was this-The LORD bless thee, and keep thee!-The LORD make his t'ACE to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee!-The LORD lift up the Light of his Countenance upon thee, and give thee Peace!

And with what Devotion they received this Blessing, we are told, Ecclus. 1. 21.—The Priest lifted up his Hand over the Congregation, to give the Blessing of the Lord with his Lips; and they bowed themselves down, that they might receive the Blessing from the Most High.

And, lest any one should think too lightly of this Blessing, because pronounced by a poor Mortal like himself, it is added. (Numb. vi. 27.) (I the Lord) will bless them :Showing, that the Effect of the Blessing does not depend unon Man, but upon the Ordinance of God, from the Mouth of his own Minister, whom GOD hath chosen to bless in the Name of the LORD. Deut. xxi, 5.
