Deuteronomy 33:7 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Observe, Simeon is passed over, whose turn by right of heirship, in the line of Jacob's sons it was. But perhaps as this tribe was in after ages incorporated with that of Judah; and Moses, by the spirit of prophecy, knowing this would be the case, meant to include both. Or whether, because the father, Jacob himself had marked his son Simeon with disgrace, Moses omitted him, I do not presume to say. Genesis 49:5. But of Judah there is much to say. The tribe of Judah is honored above all others, because our LORD sprang out of Judah, according to the flesh. Hebrews 7:14. The blessing is very peculiar, that the LORD would hear his voice, alluding perhaps to the very person of the LORD JESUS, in his office of intercessor. And that he would bring him to his people, perhaps referring to the time of JESUS appearing upon earth, for the salvation of his people. And that he would be an help to him from his enemies: probably the conquest of the spiritual Judah in view, in his destruction of sin, Satan, and death! These scriptures are express in point, if so; John 11:42; Genesis 49:10 and Psalms 89:20.
