Numbers 6: We Can't Miss This

Verses 24-26 are used to this day in connection with the desire for God’s blessings to shine upon people in all sorts of situations. But the paragraph begins at verse 22, reminding us not to miss the point that Moses was commanded to announce this blessing on the priests of Israel/God. Today, we are His priesthood. Let us live so that such a powerful fellowship will exist between us and God, too. But do not presume that you are in the priesthood—get in it by obeying the commands of the Savior (Revelation 1:5-6; James 3:3,5).
