Musar su Deuteronomio 33:24
וּלְאָשֵׁ֣ר אָמַ֔ר בָּר֥וּךְ מִבָּנִ֖ים אָשֵׁ֑ר יְהִ֤י רְצוּי֙ אֶחָ֔יו וְטֹבֵ֥ל בַּשֶּׁ֖מֶן רַגְלֽוֹ׃
E di Asher disse: Benedetto sia Asher sopra i figli; Lascia che sia il favorito dei suoi fratelli, e lascia che immerga il piede nell'olio.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The tribe of Asher who was part of the camp of Dan is described in the Torah as being blessed with sons, in Deut. 33,24. Sifri says there that no other tribe was blessed with as many sons. Rashi says that he does not know the source of that statement, however I believe that it is based on the end of the verse which seems to extol Asher's virtue, i.e. that when he gave charity he gave "royal portions, and delicacies." He may have been blessed with many sons as a reward. The third characteristic of that camp, the matter of tithing, is related to the blessing of Maleachi 3,10, where we are promised unlimited blessings by G–d in return for meticulously fulfilling the obligation of tithes. The sages interpret the words עד בלי די, normally translated as "never ending," to mean that one will become weary of exlaiming די, enough! (Taanit 9a) This is also alluded to in the blessing the Torah gave to the third partner in that camp, the tribe of Naftali, of whom it says in Deut. 33, 23, that he is: שבע רצון ומלא ברכת ה', "sated with favor and full of the Lord's blessing."
