(22) The Eternal spoke to Moses: (23) Speak to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the people of Israel. Say to them:
(24) The Eternal bless you and protect you!
(25) The Eternal deal kindly and graciously with you!
(26) The Eternal bestow favour upon you and grant you peace!
(27) Thus they shall link My name with the people of Israel, and I, I will bless them.
Priestly Blessing
This is the oldest known Biblical text that has been found; amulets with these verses written on them have been found in graves in dating from the First Temple Period, and are now in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem.
Various interpretations of these verses connect them to the three Patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobor to three attributes of God: Mercy, Courage, and Glory.
Ketef Hinnom
In 1979 two tiny silver scrolls, inscribed with portions of the well-known apotropaic Priestly Blessing of the Book of Numbers and apparently once used as amulets were discovered by a 13 year old boy by accident.
They were found in one of the burial chambers. The delicate process of unrolling the scrolls while developing a method that would prevent them from disintegrating took three years. They contain what may be the oldest surviving texts from the Hebrew Bible . (Tanach)
