Chasidut zu Bamidbar 6:26
יִשָּׂ֨א יְהוָ֤ה ׀ פָּנָיו֙ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְיָשֵׂ֥ם לְךָ֖ שָׁלֽוֹם׃ (ס)
Der Herr wende sein Antlitz dir zu und gebe dir Frieden!
Kedushat Levi
Numbers 6,25. “may the Lord shine His face upon you and grant you grace.”
When a person enjoys grace he certainly feels elevated, promoted. On the other hand, how is it possible for a mere creature, a human being to entertain feelings of pride or glory when facing his Creator?
Did not Daniel 4,32 already state that “all the inhabitants of the earth are of no account,” i.e. ודירי ארעא כלא חשיבין.
By contrast, our verse confirms that G’d Himself bestowed glory on His people Israel. He did so in order that they find grace in His eyes.
