Priestly Blessing Amulets

[Archive witness: an ancient protective or ritual text, preserved as historical evidence — not doctrine, and not for practice.]

Amulets bearing the priestly blessing of Aaron, worn for protection. The earliest known are the silver scrolls of Ketef Hinnom (filed under their own number); the practice continued long after, and the blessing was inscribed on metal, parchment, and stone. Representative wording:

May the LORD bless you and keep you;

may the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;

may the LORD lift up his face toward you

and grant you peace.

And often there was added: “The LORD is the one who rebukes evil; may he rebuke it from the one who wears this.” [Text missing]
