Context of Deuteronomy 33:26
24I pray this for the tribe of Asher: May the Lord bless Asher's tribe more than the other tribes. May their brothers be pleased with them. May Asher's people be rich enough to wash their feet in olive oil. 25They will use iron and bronze to make the gates of their towns strong. May they be strong for as long as they live. Israelites, there is no god like your God. He rides across the sky to help you. He travels with great authority on the clouds. 27He is the God who lives for ever. He is the safe place where you can hide. His strong arms are always there, to hold you safely. He will chase away your enemies as you attack them. He says to you, “Destroy them!” 28So Israel's people can now live safely. Jacob's descendants have a safe place to live. They have a land that will give them grain and wine. Rain falls from the sky to make the ground wet.
