Deuteronomy 33:22 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Taking this blessing in a temporal sense, perhaps it might refer to the victories of Samson, who sprung from this tribe; or to the tribe itself, whose exploits are rehearsed. Judges 18:1. But if we read the promise, with an eye to spiritual blessings in CHRIST JESUS, to leap from Bashan, may imply the victory believers obtain over all their foes, when coming from Zion, the hill of JEHOVAH. JESUS complained in his unequalled sufferings, that the strong bulls of Bashan, had beset him around; meaning no doubt, the chief priests and elders of GOD'S house. See Psalms 22:12 compared with Psalms 68:15-16.
