Numbers 6:22-23
Let us go back to the book of Numbers, finally. If the Israelites had really come to understand that He was their provider, then they would have known His character and how deeply He wanted to help them. They should never have doubted. But they really did not know Him and so they failed and they died. Let us look at this priestly blessing here at the end of Numbers 6. This gives you an idea of what God wants to do for His people. He was willing to do this for those sinners out there in the wilderness. How much more is He willing to do something like this for us who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ!
He is giving this instruction to Aaron and his sons, and they are supposed to bless the people. In a way, what we could say is God telling the priests here, “When the people come to you, or when you have a great convocation, I want you to give them this message from Me.” What is the message?
