"This blessing, like that in 2 Cor. 13:14, is not outward and material.  Rather, it is the eternal blessing of the Triune God, which is the Triune God dispensing Himself in His Divine Trinity into us for our enjoyment.  In the entire universe the unique blessing is the Triune God, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity - in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Ephesians 1 gives us a record of how the Triune God blesses His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people in His divine Trinity, issuing in the church as the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.  As the consummation of the entire record of the Bible, the New Jerusalem is the very God in His Divine Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Spirit - mingled with His chosen, redeemed, transformed, and glorified people as their eternal blessing.  Such a blessing is the ultimate fulfillment of God's blessing to Israel in Numbers 6."

Number 6:23 footnote 1
