Chasidut su Genesi 49:20

מֵאָשֵׁ֖ר שְׁמֵנָ֣ה לַחְמ֑וֹ וְה֥וּא יִתֵּ֖ן מַֽעֲדַנֵּי־מֶֽלֶךְ׃ (ס)

D’Ascèr saranno pingui i prodotti: egli somministrerà regie delizie.

Bnei Yissaschar

According to the order of their banners [in the wilderness], this month relates to the Tribe of Asher, about whom it is written: “Asher’s bread will be rich, [And he will produce delicacies fit for royalty]” (Gen. 49:20); and also, “May he dip his foot in oil” (Deut. 33:24), because there was much olive oil in his portion [of the land], and every place where olive oil is found, there Wisdom is found.

Kedushat Levi

Genesis 49,20. “Asher’s bread shall be rich, and he ‎shall yield royal delicacies.” [Our author sees in ‎these banal sounding words of Yaakov an allusion to something ‎on a far loftier level; Ed.] Looking forward to a state of ‎the nation on a far higher spiritual level, Yaakov uses a simile ‎familiar to earth-bound people in order to allude to loftier ‎concepts. The greatest satisfaction, pleasure, a human being ‎whose primary occupation is to serve his Creator can experience, ‎is that his Creator is pleased by his efforts. Yaakov foresees that ‎the tribe of Asher, collectively, will succeed in attaining such an ‎objective. He expresses it by foreseeing Asher as “serving ‎delicacies to the King of Kings.” ‎
