Benediction

[Nahum]

Num 6:22 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Num 6:24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:


Num 6:25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:


Num 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

I didn't realize that this prayer was right out of the bible! Do any of you pastors pray this prayer at the benediction?

That passage in bold is on a big banner in our church.
