24 May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:
See, the eyes of Israel's keeper will not be shut in sleep. The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand. You will not be touched by the sun in the day, or by the moon at night. The Lord will keep you safe from all evil; he will take care of your soul.
And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat; And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;
Who, by the power of God are kept, through faith, for that salvation, which will be seen at the last day.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Grace be with all those who have true love for our Lord Jesus Christ.
A blessing will be on you in the town, and a blessing in the field. A blessing will be on the fruit of your body, and on the fruit of your land, on the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herd, and the young of your flock. A blessing will be on your basket and on your bread-basin. A blessing will be on your coming in and on your going out.
I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:
I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.
Be a saviour to your people, and send a blessing on your heritage: be their guide, and let them be lifted up for ever.
Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

Commentary on Numbers 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have,
Num 6:1-21
After the law for the discovery and shame of those that by sin had made themselves vile, fitly follows this for the direction and encouragement of those who by their eminent piety and devotion had made themselves honourable, and distinguished themselves from their neighbours. It is very probable that there were those before the making of this law who went under the character of Nazarites, and were celebrated by that title as persons professing greater strictness and zeal in religion than other people; for the vow of a Nazarite is spoken of here as a thing already well known, but the obligation of it is reduced to a greater certainty than hitherto it had been. Joseph is called a Nazarite among his brethren (Gen. 49:26), not only because separate from them, but because eminent among them. Observe,
Num 6:22-27
