22And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23Say to Aaron and his sons: Thus shall you bless the children of Israel, and you shall say to them:

24The Lord bless you, and keep you.

25The Lord show his face to you, and have mercy on you.

26The Lord turn his face to you, and give you peace.

27And they shall invoke my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

2May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his face to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

3That we may know your way upon earth: your salvation in all nations.

5Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for you judgest the people with righteousness, and directest the nations upon earth.

6Let the people, OH God, confess to you: let all the people give praise to you:

8may God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.

4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:

5That he might redeem them who were under the law: that we might receive the adoption of sons.

6And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying: Abba, Father.

7Therefore now he is not a servant, but a son. And if a son, an heir also through God.

16And they came with haste; and they found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.

17And seeing, they understood of the word that had been said to them concerning this child.

18And all that heard, wondered; and at those things that were told them by the shepherds.

19But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart.

20And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God, for all the things they had heard and seen, as it was told to them.

21And after eight days were accomplished, that the child should be circumcised, his name was called JESUS, which was called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb.
