Genesis 49:20
Excerpted from: The Doctrine of Israel (Part Eleven): Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33Jacob emphasizes Asher's tendency to specialize in rich foods and luxury crafts. And Moses concurs with him, calling him "the most blessed of sons." He will dwell in rich lands. That is what the foot being dipped in oil implies. But he will also be strong in fortifications because it says there "your sandals shall be iron and bronze." I do not know. I would not want to have iron and bronze sandals. The word should probably be bars, meaning fortifications of some sort. Your bar shall be iron and bronze. And the last line, "As your days, so shall your strength be," implies growth in strength. They are just going to get stronger and stronger as the years go on or that they will continue in strength even though they become old. Take from that what you will.
