Context of Deuteronomy 33:26

24And concerning Asher he said: “May Asher be the most blessed of sons; may he be the most favored among his brothers and dip his foot in oil. 25May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and may your strength match your days.” “There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty. 27The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
