The priestly blessing is know in Hebrew as Birkat Kohanim or as 'the
raising of the hands' (Hebrew: nesiat kapayim), or 'Dukhanen' (from the
Hebrewword dukhan - platform - because the blessing is given from a
raised rostrum).
The Priestly Blessing consists of the following Biblical verses (Numbers
6:24–26): May the LORD bless you and guard you - May the LORD make His
face shed light upon you and be gracious unto you - May the LORD lift up
His face unto you and give you peace.
