NUMBERS 6:24-26#PRIESTLY BLESSINGS#MY DREAM MEDIA.To be blessed' means to be favored by God, the source of all blessing.[2] Blessings, therefore, are directly associated with, and are believed to come from, God. Thus, to express a blessing is like bestowing a wish on someone that they experience the favor of God, and to acknowledge God as the source of all blessing.

A biblical damnation, in its most formal sense, is a negative blessing.

In the Bible, positive and negative blessings are related; the book of Deuteronomy prescribes that obedience to the Law of Moses brings God's blessing. One of the first incidences of blessing in the Bible is in Genesis, 12:1-2 where Abram is ordered by the God to leave his country and is told:

"I will bless you, I will make your name great."

The Priestly Blessing is set forth at Numbers 6:24-26:

May Adonai bless you, and guard you;
May Adonai make His countenance shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
May Adonai turn His countenance to you and grant you peace.
