Commentary on Numbers 6:26

Theological / Devotional

Lift up his countenance. Compare Ps. 4:6. If the face of Jehovah is hidden, then despair settles upon man (Deut. 31:17, 18; Job 13:24). If His face is turned against man, then death and destruction befall him (Lev. 17:10; Ps. 30:7 ; 34:16; 44:24, 25; 104:29).

Peace. Compare Isa. 26:3. The Hebrew word signifies “oneness,” “completeness,” and “perfection.”
