My all-time favorite benediction, the oldest benediction in the - TopicsExpress



          

My all-time favorite benediction, the oldest benediction in the Bible,and the oldest known Biblical text that has been found (in amulets in graves) is the priestly blessing that God gave Aaron in Numbers 6:24-26 (hence Aaronic blessing) with the instruction that with these words I will place my name upon the children of Israel and I myself will bless them. I begin The Well-Played Life with these words----but note the surprising and stunning last line from the Living Bible translation: May God Bless You and Keep You; May God Make His Face to Shine Upon You and Be Gracious Unto you: May God’s Face Radiate with Joy Because of You . . .and give you Peace. The Way of discipleship is simple: a life of bringing joy to Gods face.
