Deuteronomy 33:24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Let Asher Who carries blessedness in his very name; be blessed with children He shall have numerous, strong, and healthful children. Acceptable to his brethren By his sweet disposition and winning carriage. In oil He shall have such plenty of oil that he may not only wash his face, but his feet also in it. This prophetic blessing was remarkably fulfilled; for Asher's portion abounded with the best and most remarkable oil, which was the most famed of all Canaan's productions. Compare Job 29:6, and Genesis 49:20.
