Gill's Notes on the Bible
And of Asher he said,.... The tribe of Asher, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem:
[let] Asher [be] blessed with children; with large numbers, as it appears this tribe was, having in it 53,400 men of war, Numbers 26:47. It was esteemed a great blessing to have many children, Psalms 128:3; or "above the children"; above or more than the rest of the children of Jacob; see Luke 2:36; Jarchi observes, that he had seen, in a book called Siphri, that there was none in all the tribes blessed with children as Asher, but not known how:
let him be acceptable to his brethren; either for his excellent bread, and royal dainties, Genesis 49:20; or for the goodness of his olives and oil, and for the brass and iron found in this tribe, as follows; or, as some say, because of his children, his daughters being very beautiful:
and let him dip his foot in oil; have such plenty of it, that if he would he might dip or wash his feet in it; and it was usual not only to anoint the head, but the feet f also, with oil, Luke 7:46.
f "Vidimus etiam vestigia pedum tingi", Plin. Nat. Hist. l. 13. c. 3. Vid. Dalecamp. Not. in ib.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Rather, “Blessed above the sons” (i. e. of Jacob-most blessed among the sons of Jacob) “be Asher; let him he the favored one of his brethren,” i. e., the one favored of God. The plenty with which this tribe should be blessed is described under the figure of dipping the foot in oil (compare the marginal reference).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 33:24. Let Asher be blessed with children — Let him have a numerous posterity, continually increasing.
Let him be acceptable to his brethren — May he be in perfect union and harmony with the other tribes.
Let him dip his foot in oil. — Let him have a fertile soil, and an abundance of all the conveniences and comforts of life.
