Context of Deuteronomy 33:27
25Iron and brass shall be thy bolts; And thy rest as thy days. 26There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heavens to thy help, And in his majesty, upon the clouds. [Thy] refuge is the God of old, And underneath are the eternal arms; And he shall drive out the enemy from before thee, And shall say, Destroy [them]! 28And Israel shall dwell in safety alone, The fountain of Jacob, in a land of corn and new wine; Also his heavens shall drop down dew. 29Happy art thou, Israel! Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thine excellency? And thine enemies shall come cringing to thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27The eternal God - קדם אלהי elohey kedem, the former God; He who was of old. Not like the gods which were lately come up.
