The ^APriestly Blessing in Inscription and Scripture is written by Jeremy D. Smoak and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190493909 (ISBN 10) and 9780190493905 (ISBN 13).

The Priestly Blessing in Inscription and Scripture breaks new ground in the study of the origins and early history of the biblical priestly blessing in Numbers 6:24-26. Jeremy Smoak contends that the specific words used in the blessing's formulations were already widely popular as protective words in the eastern Mediterranean world. This argument represents an important departure from earlier studies on the background of the blessing's language in the ancient Near East, and it sheds significant new light on the history of its use within early Judaism and Christianity.
