22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.

and particularly in swearing Ge 14:22

praying Ps 28:2

and blessing, either of God Ps 134:2

or of men, as in this place. Paul, speaking of prayer uses the phrase, `lifting up holy hands;' as also David: `Let the lifting up of my hands be as the evening sacrifice.' Ge 14:18-20 Nu 6:23-27 De 10:8 21:5 1Ki 8:55 1Ch 23:13 2Ch 6:3 Ps 72:17 Mr 10:16 Lu 24:50 Ac 3:26 2Co 13:14 Heb 7:6,7 1Pe 3:9
