The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, \u201cSpeak to Aaron and his sons, saying, \u2018Thus you shall bless the people of Israel, saying: “May Adonai bless you and keep you from illusions; may Adonai shine divine light upon you; may Adonai reveal his presence to you.’ So shall they put my Name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them” (Num. 6:22-27). The question is asked why the kohanim (priests) were needed to confer God\u2019s blessing, and what is meant by the idea of God \u201csetting his Name\u201d upon the people. The sages reply that the blessing is bestowed by a mediator to show that all things flow from the Holy One, and there is no one who can rightly say, \u201cby my strength and my power alone has this come to pass\u201d (Deut. 8:17). Therefore the blessing is graciously given to those who simply open their hearts to receive it: \u201cMay Adonai bless you; may Adonai shine divine light upon you; may Adonai reveal his Presence to you…\u201d Everything that comes to us comes in God\u2019s Name, as it is written: \u201cEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights (\u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea) with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change\u201d (James 1:17). The blessing of God (\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b7\u05ea \u05d9\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc) is to \u201cbear His Name\u201d by being filled with the strength of His Presence, walking in the flow of His power, completely in union with His will… Bearing the Name of the LORD means being surrendered and identified with his heart in all things.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/birkat-kohanim-analysis.gif?resize=497%2C885&ssl=1\")
