Numbers 6:22-27

22 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,

23 'Speak to Aaron and his sons and say: "This is how you must bless the Israelites. You will say:

24 May Yahweh bless you and keep you.

25 May Yahweh let his face shine on you and be gracious to you.

26 May Yahweh show you his face and bring you peace."

²⁷ This is how they must call down my name on the Israelites, and then I shall bless them.'

=====

Exegesis:

This is the commonly used Aaronic blessing given by Catholic priests before the end of the Mass to the people.

Bring you peace- This is the presence of Jesus Christ in one's life, the peace that the world cannot give.
