יְֽהוָ֗ה עֹ֭ז לְעַמּ֣וֹ יִתֵּ֑ן יְהוָ֓ה ׀ יְבָרֵ֖ךְ אֶת־עַמּ֣וֹ בַשָּׁלֽוֹם׃
ה׳ װעט זײַן פֿאָלק געבן שטאַרקײט, ה׳ װעט בענטשן זײַן פֿאָלק מיט שלום.
Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing
When the priests have concluded reciting the three verses of the Benediction, the Reader begins the last paragraph of the Amidah, that beginning, "Grant Peace". The priests turn their faces towards the ark, bend their fingers*(and drop the hands.) and remain standing on the platform till he concludes the paragraph, and then they return to their places.
