Week 9 Day 6 Bless You

Numbers 6

The first part of the chapter is about a special group of people called the Nazirites. This was a group of people who promised themselves to God in a special way. It didn't matter if it was male or female. The promise was what set them apart. If they chose to do that, then there were specific rules to follow as far as what they ate/drank (nothing from a vine, not even a raisin!) and wore their hair (uncut).

But it is the second part of the chapter that caught my attention. It was a blessing that the priests would bless the Israelites with in verses 24-26

"May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord show you his kindness
and have mercy on you.
May the Lord watch over you
and give you peace."

What a beautiful blessing.

Hope you have a blessed day!
