Genesis 49:20 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

“Asher's food will be rich, and he will yield royal dainties.”

It would appear that Asher has ventured into catering. He may even have been given a position in Pharaoh's palace. He is thus eating excessively well and providing royal dainties. There are no suggestions anywhere that this interest was carried into the future.

Genesis 49:20

20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
