Priestly Blessing
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’
27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”
The blessing came directly from God for the less is blessed of the better. and and was only mediated through the priest
‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. The priests lift up their hands and (Psalm 134:2)
Must be must be out of love and sincere heart and thus it should be received as well.. Jesus also lifted up His hands and blessed the disciples
2 Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord!
I believe the disciples added
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
The very heart of God is to bless us and multiply us
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
No Biblical record of Abraham blessing Isaac may be because he did not want to bless Ishmael as well.. but God directly blessed Isaac
11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.
The power of blessing others transferred to Isaac
Jacob blessed his twelve sons Genesis 48 & 49
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Followers of Yeshua are made part of the chosen people
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Now after Yeshua all believers are ordained as priests — royal priesthood
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Whole Bible: Complete and Unabridged in One Volume Numbers 6:22–27
This was a type of Christ’s errand into the world, which was to bless us (Acts 3:26), as the high priest of our profession. The last thing he did on earth was with uplifted hands to bless his disciples, Lu. 24:50, 51
26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
50 And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.
This the same blessing Jesus would have blessed the disciples
The Blessing is the very creative force of God
God’s restoration of the The Blessing on mankind, where it belonged, through His blood covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob passing it down the line until Jesus was born our of that covenant
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’
27 “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Isaac blessing his son Jacob
27 So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed!
Has he smelled the sacrifice of Noah
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and took some of every clean animal and some of every clean bird and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21 And when the Lord smelled the pleasing aroma, the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground because of man, for the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I ever again strike down every living creature as I have done.
The word blessing us also applied to thanksgiving
19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
