Commentaries on Numbers 6:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24The Lord bless thee - There are three forms of blessing here, any or all of which the priests might use on any occasion. The following is a verbal translation: - May Jehovah bless thee and preserve thee! May Jehovah cause his faces to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee! May Jehovah lift up his faces upon thee, and may be put prosperity unto thee! This is a very comprehensive and excellent prayer, and may be paraphrased thus: - May God speak good…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 22-27Verses 22-27 The priestly blessing (compare Leviticus 9:22 note). God Himself provides a formula, through which from time to time, as His people by obedience place themselves in true and right relationship to Him, the authorised mediators may pronounce and communicate His special blessing to them.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-27Verses 22-27 The priests were solemnly to bless the people in the name of the Lord.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24The first half of this verse asks for blessings like health, wealth, and fertility. The second half seeks protection from all kinds of dangers. This prayer is similar to the language in Psalms 121:3–8; 140:4; and 141:9. These sincere requests are still good examples for prayer and blessings that people can seek for everyone. The entire poem emphasizes the Lord as the source of all good things.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 23-2723-27. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the congregation of Israel, &c.--This passage records the solemn benediction which God appointed for dismissing the people at the close of the daily service. The repetition of the name "Lord" or "Jehovah" three times, expresses the great mystery of the Godhead--three persons, and yet one God. The expressions in the separate clauses correspond to the respective offices of the…Read the comment
