Context of Deuteronomy 33:26
24About the tribe of Asher he said, “The people of Asher are the most blessed of the sons of Israel. May they be the Israelites’ favorite tribe and wash their feet in olive oil. 25May the locks and bolts of your gates be made of iron and copper. May your strength last as long as you live. “There’s no one like your God, Jeshurun! He rides through the heavens to help you. In majesty he rides through the clouds. 27The eternal God is your shelter, and his everlasting arms support you. He will force your enemies out of your way and tell you to destroy them. 28So Israel will live securely. Jacob’s spring will be ⌞left⌟ alone in a land of grain and new wine. Dew will drip from Israel’s skies.
