Deuteronomy 33:13 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Deuteronomy 33:13

11 Bless his substance, Lord,
And ^aaccept the work of his hands;
Strike the loins of those who rise against him,
And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”

12 Of Benjamin he said:
“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
Who shelters him all the day long;
And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”

13 And of Joseph he said:
^a“Blessed of the Lord is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the ^bdew,
And the deep lying beneath,

14 With the precious fruits of the sun,
With the precious produce of the months,

15 With the best things of ^athe ancient mountains,
With the precious things ^bof the everlasting hills,

16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of ^aHim who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come ^b‘on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’

17 His glory is like a ^afirstborn bull,
And his horns like the ^bhorns of the wild ox;
Together with them
^cHe shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
^dThey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

18 And of Zebulun he said:
^a“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
And Issachar in your tents!

Deuteronomy 33:13-17

of Joseph he said—The territory of this tribe, diversified by hill and dale, wood and water, would be rich in all the productions—olives, grapes, figs, etc., which are reared in a mountainous region, as well as in the grain and herbs that grow in the level fields. "The firstling of the bullock and the horns of the unicorn" (rhinoceros), indicate glory and strength, and it is supposed that under these emblems were shadowed forth the triumphs of Joshua and the new kingdom of Jeroboam, both of whom were of Ephraim (compare Genesis 48:20).
