Num
6:24
The LORD bless you and keep you;
Num
6:25
the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
Num
6:26
the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
The
richness of this "Blessing" (Num 6:23) begins with its
structure. Each line of the Blessing increases by two Hebrew words
(from 3 to 5 to 7) and by five Hebrew letters (from 15 to 20 to 25).
So, the Blessing forms a "crescendo," that is, a gradual
increase in the intensity of the Blessing to its high
point of "peace."
