The “Priestly Blessings” prayer is taken from Numbers 6:22-27 in the Bible. Also known as the “Aaronic Benediction,” this prayer is a request for God’s blessing and protection on the Israelites. It consists of seven requests, seeking God’s favor, His face to shine upon us, His grace, His turn towards us, His peace, His name upon us, and His blessing. This prayer acknowledges God as the source of all blessing and seeks His watchful care and guidance.
