B.
- (24) The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
2. (25) The LORD make his face (06440) shine upon thee. and be gracious unto thee:
3.(26) The LORD lift up his countenance( 06440) upon thee, and give thee peace.
A’.(27) And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
The priestly blessing by itself forms a verbal menorah (subset of chiasmus). In the menorah form, the consecutive “branches” go outward. I’d post a picture of this if I could.
A Lift up His countenance upon thee
B Make His face shine upon thee
C Bless thee
D The LORD – The LORD – The LORD
C’ and Keep thee
B’ and Be gracious unto thee
C’ and Give thee peace
