24 About Asher(A) he said:

“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
    let him be favored by his brothers,
    and let him bathe his feet in oil.(B)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(C)
    and your strength will equal your days.(D)

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(E)
    who rides(F) across the heavens to help you(G)
    and on the clouds(H) in his majesty.(I)
27 The eternal(J) God is your refuge,(K)
    and underneath are the everlasting(L) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(M)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’(N)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(O)
    Jacob will dwell[a] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.(P)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(Q)
    Who is like you,(R)
    a people saved by the Lord?(S)
He is your shield and helper(T)
    and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
    and you will tread on their heights.(U)

  1. Deuteronomy 33:28 Septuagint; Hebrew Jacob’s spring is

24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
