The Prayer of Blessing – The Priestly Prayer – Part 7

Numbers 6:25

The LORD make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you.

gracious – chanan channun which means “to show unmerited favor.” -“to exhibit a yearning toward, demonstrate a longing for, be merciful to, exhibit compassion, be inclined toward, be considerate of, and demonstrate a desire to spare.”

God hears because He is gracious.
EXODUS 22:25–27
If you lend money to any of My people who is poor among you, do not be a creditor to him, and do not charge him interest. If you take your neighbor’s garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down, for that is his only covering; it is his garment for his body. In what else will he sleep? And when he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious.
