The procedures for judging cases of jealousy spurred by actions not directly witnessed are given. Throughout these details is given the warning that God does see even when man does not. The regulations for those dedicating themselves to God by means of a vow (becoming a Nazerite) are also detailed. Towards the end of this passage the blessing for the nation is given. The priests were to pronounce this blessing upon the nation. Perhaps you've heard it before?
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
