Deuteronomy 33:25

"About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil."

Key Reflection

This verse blesses Asher by forecasting abundant offspring and prosperity, symbolizing divine favor and blessing. The command for Asher's feet to be dipped in oil signifies anointing with the Holy Spirit, bestowing special spiritual and material blessings.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The strength and firmness of Asher is as if he were shod with iron and brass (compareRevelation 1:15). The territory of this tribe probably contained iron and copper. Compare the marginal reference. As thy days, so shall thy strength be -i. e., “thy strength” (some prefer “thy rest”) “shall be continued to thee as long as thou shalt live: thou shalt never know feebleness and decay.”
