Lb 6,22–27 to kompozycja (post)kapłańska. Badacze traktowali jednak samo błogosławieństwo (Lb 6,24–26) jako tekst zapożyczony z innego, starszego źródła. W istocie znaleźć w nim można szereg analogii do tekstów z Mezopotamii, Ugarit, a nawet z Egiptu i literatury hetyckiej. Dotyczy to zwłaszcza literatury epistolarnej. Niemniej zastosowane w nim idiomy i zwroty mogą pochodzić także z rodzimej tradycji. Z jednej strony nie zmienia to faktu, że ta rodzima tradycja mogła być dziedzictwem kulturowym przejętym po tych starożytnych cywilizacjach, a z drugiej tekst nosi wyraźne ślady kompozycji z okresu perskiego. W artykule przyjęta jest teza Marka Awabdy’sa, że tekst mógł być skomponowany przez tzw. szkołę świętości, korygującą kapłański ekskluzywizm w bezpośrednim przystępie do Boga, ale nie wyklucza się, że część błogosławieństwa mogła być jednak skomponowana wcześniej i stosowana w życiu codziennym.

Num 6:22–27 is a (post)priestly composition. Scholars, however, treated the blessing itself (Num 6:24–26) as a text borrowed from another, older source. In fact, one can find a number of analogies to the texts from Mesopotamia, Ugarit and even from Egypt and Hittite literature. This is especially true of epistolary texts. Nevertheless, the idioms and phrases used in it may also come from the native tradition. On the one hand, it does not change the fact that this native tradition could have been a cultural heritage taken over from those older civilizations, but on the other hand, the text shows clear traces of compositions from the Persian period. Mark Awabdy’s thesis is adopted in the article, namely, that the text could have been composed by the so-called Holiness School, which corrects priestly exclusivism, in direct access to God, but it is also possible that a part of the blessing could have been composed earlier and used in everyday life.
