A blessing is a hopeful prayer. A blessing was one way of asking
 for God’s divine favor to rest upon others. The ancient blessing in
 these verses helps us understand what a blessing was supposed to do.
Its five parts conveyed hope that God would (1) bless and keep them
(favor and protect); (2) make his face shine upon them (be pleased);
(3) be gracious (merciful and compassionate); (4) turn his face
toward them (give his approval); (5) give peace. When you ask God to
bless others or yourself, you are asking him to do these five things.
The blessing you offer will not only help the one receiving it, it
will also demonstrate love, encourage others, and provide a model of
caring to others. [Life Application Study Bible]
