Brojevi 6:27

span data-lang="hrv" data-trans="cro" data-ref="num.6.1" class="versetxt"> Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Govori Izraelcima i reci im: 'Ako tko, bilo čovjek ili žena, položi nazirejski zavjet te se posveti Jahvi, neka se suzdržava od vina i svakoga opojnog pića. Neka ne pije ni ukiseljena vina niti ukiseljena opojnog pića; a niti kakva soka od grožđa neka ne pije; neka ne jede grožđa, ni svježa ni suha. Sve vrijeme svoga nazireata ne smije jesti ništa što rađa lozov trs - od zelena grožđa do komine.' Sve dok traje njegov nazirejski zavjet, neka britva ne prelazi preko njegove glave; dok se ne navrši vrijeme što ga je Jahvi zavjetovao, neka bude posvećen i pusti kose da mu slobodno rastu na glavi. Za sve vrijeme svoga zavjeta Jahvi neka se ne primiče nikakvu mrtvacu. Neka se ne onečišćuje ni zbog svoga oca, ni zbog svoje majke, svoga brata ili svoje sestre ako bi umrli, jer na svojoj glavi nosi posvećenje svoga Boga. Sve vrijeme svoga nazireata on je posvećen Jahvi. Umre li tko nenadanom smrću pokraj njega, onečistivši tako njegovu posvećenu glavu, neka na dan svoga očišćenja obrije svoju glavu - neka je obrije sedmoga dana. A osmoga dana neka donese svećeniku, na ulazu u Šator sastanka, dvije grlice ili dva golubića. Neka svećenik prinese jedno kao žrtvu okajnicu, a drugo kao žrtvu paljenicu, zatim neka nad njim izvrši obred pomirenja zbog ljage kojom se okaljao uz mrtvaca. Toga dana neka posveti svoju glavu; neka zavjetuje Jahvi dane svoga nazireata; neka donese jednogodišnjeg janjca kao žrtvu naknadnicu. Prijašnje vrijeme neka se ne računa, jer je njegov nazireat bio oskvrnjen. Ovo je obred za nazirejca: na dan kad se navrši vrijeme njegova nazireata, neka ga dovedu na ulaz Šatora sastanka. Kao svoj prinos neka Jahvi donese: jednogodišnjeg janjca bez mane za žrtvu paljenicu; jednogodišnje žensko janje, bez mane, za žrtvu okajnicu; jednoga ovna, bez mane, za žrtvu pričesnicu; nadalje, košaru neukvasanih pogača od najboljeg brašna, u ulju zamiješenih i neukvasanih kolača, namazanih uljem, s njihovim prinosnicama i ljevanicama. Svećenik, pošto to donese pred Jahvu, neka prinese njegovu okajnicu i paljenicu. Zatim neka prinese ovna Jahvi kao žrtvu pričesnicu zajedno s košarom neukvasanih pogača. I njegovu prinosnicu i njegovu ljevanicu neka prinese svećenik. Na ulazu u Šator sastanka neka nazirejac obrije svoju posvećenu glavu i, uzevši uvojke sa svoje posvećene glave, neka ih stavi na vatru što gori pred žrtvom pričesnicom. Zatim neka svećenik uzme kuhano pleće ovna, jednu neukvasanu pogaču iz košare i jedan neukvasani kolač i stavi to na ruke nazirejcu pošto ovaj obrije svoje posvećene kose. Neka to svećenik prinese kao žrtvu prikaznicu pred Jahvom. To je svetinja što pripada svećeniku, osim grudi prikaznice i stegna podizanice. Poslije toga nazirejac može piti vina." Ovo je obred nazirejca, ne računajući ono što bi još mogla prinijeti njegova ruka. Ako je povrh svoga nazireata obećao kakav dar, neka povrh obreda svoga nazireata učini kako je zavjetovao. Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Reci Aronu i njegovim sinovima: 'Ovako blagoslivljajte Izraelce govoreći im: Neka te blagoslovi Jahve i neka te čuva! Neka te Jahve licem svojim obasja, milostiv ti bude! Neka pogled svoj Jahve svrati na te i mir ti donese!' Tako neka stavljaju moje ime nad sinove Izraelove, i ja ću ih blagoslivljati."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel,.... Call them by his name, the people of the Lord; call upon the name of the Lord to bless them, and pronounce the blessing on them in the name of the Lord, in or by the name Jehovah, as Jarchi, three times used in this form of blessing:

and I will bless them; really and truly bless them bless them with blessings indeed; with all sorts of blessings temporal and spiritual; with solid and substantial ones; and such are blessed, and will remain so, their blessings are irrevocable and irreversible; and unless the Lord blesses, in vain do the priests bless, or any of his ministers pronounce a blessing; theirs lies in words and wishes, his in real facts; they can only pray and wish for the blessing, it is he only that can give it, and can ratify and confirm what they declare and pronounce, according to his revealed word. Some refer the relative "them" to the priests, as if the sense was, I will bless the priests that bless Israel, for God will bless them that bless his people; but Aben Ezra thinks it belongs both to Israel, and to the priests, that God would confirm and establish the blessing of the priests pronounced on Israel, and bless the priests also, who needed the divine blessing as well as the people, and being found in the way of their duty, might expect it: the Targum of Jonathan is,

"I will bless them in my Word;''

his essential Word, Christ, in whom his chosen ones are blessed with all spiritual blessings, and who is the promised seed, in whom all nations of the earth shall be blessed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The priestly blessing (compare Ecclus. 36:17) is appointed as a solemn form to be used by the priests exclusively, and in this function their office as it were culminates (compare Leviticus 9:22 note). God Himself provides a formula, through which from time to time, as His people by obedience place themselves in true and right relationship to Him, the authorised mediators may pronounce and communicate His special blessing to them. It was a Jewish tradition that this blessing was given at the close of the daily sacrifice.

The structure of the blessing is remarkable. It is rhythmical, consists of three distinct parts, and mounts by gradual stages to that peace which forms the last and most consummate gift which God can give His people.

From a Christian point of view, and comparing the counterpart benediction of 2 Corinthians 13:14, it is impossible not to see shadowed forth the doctrine of the Holy Trinity (compare Isaiah 6:3; Matthew 28:19). And the three several sets of terms correspond fittingly to the office of the Three Persons in Their gracious work for the redemption of man.

Numbers 6:24

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee - The second clause here, as in the other three verses, defines more closely the general tenor of the preceding one. The singular number, which is observed throughout, indicates that the blessing is conferred on Israel “collectively.”

Numbers 6:25

Make his face shine - This is an enhancement of the preceding benediction. “The face of God” imports not merely God’s good will in general, but His active and special regard. With the “face” or “eye of the Lord accordingly is connected alike the judicial visitation of the wicked. Psalms 34:16, and His mercies to the righteous Psalms 4:6.

Numbers 6:26

Lift up his countenance upon thee - i. e. especially direct His thought and care toward thee: compare 2 Kings 9:32, and similar phrases in Genesis 43:29; Genesis 44:21. Through such loving providence alone could the peace of God in which the blessing closes be given.

Numbers 6:27

Put my name upon the children of Israel - i. e. pronounce My Sacred Name over them in blessing them. God will give effect to the benediction pronounced by the priests.
