Deuteronomy33:17
17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock , and his horns are like the horns of unicorns , with them he shall push the people together, to the ends of the earth; and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh .
In whose countenance there is a kind of awful Majesty and comely generosity, as Tully, Aelian, &c. observe. This seems to note the Kingdom which Ephraim should obtain in Ieroboam and his Successours.
His strength and power shall be very great.
(i. e.) All that shall oppose him, and particularly the Canaanites.
Though Manasseh be now more numerous, yet Ephraim shall shortly outstrip him, as was foretold, Gen. 48. 29.
i (i. e.) Of the Land of Canaan.
Marginal references: Or, of a wild [illegible: 1+ letters]ll Heb. Reech.
