Context of Deuteronomy 33:26

24Of Asher he said, “More blessed than sons is Asher; May he be favored by his brothers, And may he dip his foot in olive oil. 25Your bars will be iron and bronze, And as your days, so will your strength be. “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to your help, And the clouds in His majesty. 27The eternal God is a hiding place, And underneath are the everlasting arms; And He drove out the enemy from you, And said, ‘Destroy!’ 28So Israel lives in security, The fountain of Jacob secluded, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens also drip down dew.
