Genesis 49:25 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven— Jacob, having mentioned the wonderful effects of GOD's providence towards Joseph himself in the preceding verses, rapidly passes on, without any perceptible stop, to the blessings which the same Providence reserved for his posterity; blessings of heaven; i.e.. a fertile soil, well watered with the rain and dew, and seasonable weather from above: blessings of the deep; i.e.. springs and rivers: metals and minerals too may be meant, and whatever else is contained in the bowels of the earth; for thus the word is used, Psalms 71:20 and yet so as not to exclude the produce of its surface. These two blessings may mean, in general, a fine air and a rich soil. Blessings of the breads, and of the womb; i.e.. a numerous, thriving progeny; a vast increase, both of children and of cattle.
