Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:12-17

Here is, I. The blessing of Benjamin, Deut. 33:12. Benjamin is put next to Levi, because the temple, where the priests? work lay, was just upon the edge of the lot of this tribe; and it is put before Joseph because of the dignity of Jerusalem (part of which was in this tribe) above Samaria, which was in the tribe of Ephraim, and because Benjamin adhered to the house of David, and to the temple of the Lord, when the rest of the tribes deserted both with Jeroboam. 1. Benjamin is here called the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:14

And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun ,.... Which has a wonderful influence upon many and most of the fruits of the earth, to produce them out of their seeds in it, to bring them forward, to ripen and perfect them, and to make them rich and excellent. Jarchi says,"the land of Joseph lay open to the sun, and it sweetened the fruits of it;'it improved them, and made them more valuable; and this is spiritually true of Christ the sun of righteousness, to whose influence are... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:15

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains ,.... Which were from the beginning of the world, and for which the land, possessed by the children of Joseph, Manasseh, and Ephraim, were famous; as the mountains of Gilead and Bashan, inherited by the former, and Mount Ephraim, and the mountains of Samaria, by the latter; which produced, besides great quantities of grass and corn, also vines, figs, olives, &c.; and for the precious things of the lasting hills ; which will endure as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:16

And for the precious things of the earth, and fulness thereof ,.... Corn of all sorts produced out of the earth, and grass that grows out of it, and cattle that feed upon it; for all which some part of the land of Joseph, particularly Bashan, was famous; as for the oaks that grew on it, so for the pasturage of it, and the cattle it bred, Deuteronomy 32:14 ; see Psalm 22:12 , and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush ; the angel of the Lord, the Word and Son of God, who... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:14

The 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 more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:15

The chief things of the ancient mountains - קדם הררי ומראש umerosh harerey kedem , and from the head or top of the ancient or eastern mountains, the precious things or productions being still understood. And this probably refers to the large trees, etc., growing on the mountain tops, and the springs of water issuing from them. The mountains of Gilead may be here intended, as they fell to the half tribe of Manasseh. And the precious things of the lasting hills may signify the metals and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:16

The good will of him that dwelt in the bush - The favor of him who appeared in the burning bush on Mount Sinai, who there, in his good will - mere love and compassion, took Israel to be his people; and who has preserved and will preserve, in tribulation and distress, all those who trust in him, so that they shall as surely escape unhurt, as the bush, though enveloped with fire, was unburnt. The top of the head, etc. - The same words are used by Jacob in blessing this tribe, Genesis... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 33:15

Verse 15 15.And for the chief things of the ancient mountains. In these words he shows that no part of the land would be barren. We know that the tops of mountains are generally and uncultivated, or at any rate bear nothing but trees that have no fruit. But Moses affirms that even there also there shall be the richest produce, for which reason, at least in my opinion, he calls the mountains ancient, and the hills lasting, as if being very highly renowned; for their antiquity is not praised, as... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 33:6-25

Blessings on the tribes individually . With these may be compared the blessing which Jacob pronounced on his sons as representing the tribes of which they were the heads. The two resemble each other in many points; the differences are such as naturally arose from the different relations of the speakers to the objects of their address, and the changes in the condition and prospects of the tribes which during the lapse of centuries had come to pass. read more
