SEV Biblia, Chapter 33:24
y a Aser dijo: Bendito más que los hijos, Aser; será agradable a sus hermanos, y mojará en aceite su pie.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:24
Verse 24. Let Asher be blessed with children] Let him have a numerous posterity, continually increasing. Let him be acceptable to his brethren] May he be in perfect union and harmony with the other tribes.
Let him dip his foot in oil.] Let him have a fertile soil, and an abundance of all the conveniences and comforts of life.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And of Asher he said , etc.] The tribe of Asher, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem: [let] Asher [be] blessed with children ; with large numbers, as it appears this tribe was, having in it 53,400 men of war, ( Numbers 26:47). It was esteemed a great blessing to have many children, ( <19C803> Psalm 128:3,4); or “above the children”; above or more than the rest of the children of Jacob; (see Luke 2:36,38); Jarchi observes, that he had seen, in a book called Siphri, that there was none in all the tribes blessed with children as Asher, but not known how: let him be acceptable to his brethren ; either for his excellent bread, and royal dainties, ( Genesis 49:20); or for the goodness of his olives and oil, and for the brass and iron found in this tribe, as follows; or, as some say, because of his children, his daughters being very beautiful: and let him dip his foot in oil ; have such plenty of it, that if he would he might dip or wash his feet in it; and it was usual not only to anoint the head, but the feet also, with oil, ( Luke 7:46).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24, 25 - All shall be sanctified to true believers; if their way be rough, their feet shall be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. As the days, so shall thy strength be. The "day" is often in Scripture put for the events of the day; it is a promise that God would graciously an constantly support under trials and troubles, whatever they were. It is a promise sure to all the spiritual seed of Abraham. Have they wor allotted? They shall have strength to do it. Have they burden appointed? They shall have strength, and never be tempted above what they are able to bear.
