Numbers

Описание: The Hebrew Aaronic or Priestly blessing or prayer of wayḏabbēr / Numbers 6:24-26, pronounced by the priest Aaron and his sons at the command of the God of Israel. The Hebrew Bible or Old Testament Hebrew text-sacred for Jews, Judaism, Christians, and Christianity, is cantillated, chanted, or sung with the Hebrew accents or trope markers, following the Ashkenazic style explained in Joshua R. Jacobson, Chanting the Hebrew Bible: The Art of Cantillation, 2nd ed., (Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society, 2017).

The Hebrew text of Numbers 6:24-26 reads:

יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָֹה וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ׃
יָאֵר יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וִיחֻנֶּךָּ׃
יִשָּׂא יְהוָֹה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם׃

yᵉḇāreḵḵā Yehowah wᵉyišmreḵā: s
yāʾēr Yehowah pānāyw ʾēleḵā wiḥunneḵā: s
yiśśāʾ Yehowah pānāyw ʾēleḵā wᵉyāśēm lᵉḵā šālôm: s

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

The pronunciation of the Hebrew consonants follows the ancient practice of pronouncing waw/vav as a "w" sound rather than following the modern Israeli pronunciation of "v" (compare the heading to the LXX between Psalm 118:40-41, ουαυ, "waw," not "vav").

The Tetragrammaton is also fully vocalized as in the Hebrew Textus Receptus, the Ben Chayyim 1524-1525 Rabbinic Bible, instead of utilizing the partially vocalized Tetragrammaton present in the Leningrad Codex and the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia Hebrew Bible published by the United Bible Society.
