At the completion of the law on the Nazarite in Numbers, Moses recorded the priest’s blessing:“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." (Num 6:24-26) Notice that the end result is all about peace, the peace of beholding the LORD’s countenance. Notice also that it follows His grace just as in the New Testament epistles. Now look at the first part of the blessing – can I suggest that God has blessed us graciously with salvation – the peace with Him; we can now come into His presence with confidence. There is a peace, however, that is not only with the Father but in the Father.
