Numbers 6:27 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel— A very strong Hebraism: which seems, as Ainsworth observes, to be an allusion to the ancient custom of laying on or lifting up of hands in bestowing benedictions, to signify the imposing the name or blessing of God upon the Israelites. "They shall bless them by calling upon the name of Jehovah, and recommending them to his paternal goodness." Jonathan paraphrases the words of the text, "I will bless them in or by my word;" which is precisely the doctrine of St. Paul, who teaches us, that God hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in, or by Christ: who, with the Holy Spirit; is most high in the glory of the Father.
