**“Peace be upon you” — the greeting Yeshua used after the resurrection**

## In Scripture

> He said, “Peace be to you. Don’t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” He brought Simeon out to them.
> — Genesis 43:23 (A plural shalom lakhem greeting calms Joseph’s brothers; it is a related biblical formula, not the exact later aleikhem wording.)

> You shall tell him, ‘Long life to you! Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.
> — 1 Samuel 25:6 (The greeting expands peace from the person to the household and all that belongs to him.)
