Deuteronomy 33:15 Meaning and 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 long as the world, the same as before in other words; and which precious things may be emblems of the spiritual blessings of grace, provided in an everlasting covenant, and given to Christ for his people before the world began, or any mountains and hills were formed, and which are as lasting and as immovable as they are; see ( Proverbs 8:22-31 ) , ( Isaiah 54:10 ) ( 2 Timothy 1:9 ) ( Ephesians 1:3 ) .

Deuteronomy 33:15 In-Context

13 Joseph: "Blessed by God be his land: The best fresh dew from high heaven, and fountains springing from the depths;
14 The best radiance streaming from the sun and the best the moon has to offer;
15 Beauty pouring off the tops of the mountains and the best from the everlasting hills;
16 The best of Earth's exuberant gifts, the smile of the Burning-Bush Dweller. All this on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the consecrated one among his brothers.
17 In splendor he's like a firstborn bull, his horns the horns of a wild ox; He'll gore the nations with those horns, push them all to the ends of the Earth. Ephraim by the ten thousands will do this, Manasseh by the thousands will do this."
