Deuteronomy33:24

24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children , let him be acceptable to his brethren , and let him dip his foot in oil .

He shall have numerous and those strong and healthful and comely Children. Or▪ shall be blessed or praised of or above the sons, i. e. the other Sons of Israel, or his brethren, as it here follows, i. e. His portion shall fall in an excellent part, where he may have the benefits both of his own fat soil, and of the Sea, by his neighbours, Tyrus and Sidon.

By his sweet disposition and winning carriage and communication of his excellent commodities to his brethren he shall gain their affections.

He shall have such plenty of Oil that he may not onely wash his face but his feet also in it. Or, the fatness and fertility of his Countrey may be expressed by oil, as Iob 19. 6. And so it agrees with Iacobs blessing of him, Gen. 49. 20.
