Context of Deuteronomy 33:14
12For Benjamin he said, ‘The beloved of Adonai rests securely beside Him. He shields him all day long. Between His shoulders he rests.’ 13For Joseph he said, ‘May his land be blessed by Adonai with heavenly bounty from the dew and from the deep lying beneath, and with the bounty of the sun’s produce and the months’ yield, 15and with the best from the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills, 16with earth’s bounty and its fullness and the favor of the One dwelling in the bush. May it come on Joseph’s head, on the crown of the prince among his brothers.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14The precious fruits brought forth by the sun - All excellent and important productions of the earth, which come to perfection once in the year. So the precious things put forth by the moon may imply those vegetables which require but about a month to bring them to perfection, or vegetables of which several crops may be had in the course of a year.Read the comment
