Narrator: Chris Genthree
Luke 24:50
Luke 24:5050And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. (Luke 24:50). He led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
The priests in blessing the people lifted up their hands. Maimonides states that the ordinary priests raised their hands above their heads; but the high-priest raised his hands to a level with the plate of gold on his forehead, but not above it.
