SEV Biblia, Chapter 49:20

El pan de Aser será grueso, y él dará deleites al rey.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 19-21 - Concerning Gad, Jacob alludes to his name, which signifies a troop, an foresees the character of that tribe. The cause of God and his people though for a time it may seem to be baffled and run down, will be victorious at last. It represents the Christian's conflict. Grace in the soul is often foiled in its conflicts; troops of corruptio overcome it, but the cause is God's, and grace will in the end come of conqueror, yea, more than conqueror, Ro 8:37. Asher should be a ric tribe. His inheritance bordered upon Carmel, which was fruitful to proverb. Naphtali, is a hind let loose. We may consider it as description of the character of this tribe. Unlike the laborious ox an ass; desirous of ease and liberty; active, but more noted for quic despatch than steady labour and perseverance. Like the suppliant who with goodly words, craves mercy. Let not those of different tempers an gifts censure or envy one another.
