Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 33:13-17

_ _ of Joseph he said — The territory of this tribe, diversified by hill and dale, wood and water, would be rich in all the productions — olives, grapes, figs, etc., which are reared in a mountainous region, as well as in the grain and herbs that grow in the level fields. “The firstling of the bullock and the horns of the unicorn” (rhinoceros), indicate glory and strength, and it is supposed that under these emblems were shadowed forth the triumphs of Joshua and the new kingdom of Jeroboam, both of whom were of Ephraim (compare Genesis 48:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 33:12-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 33:13

And of Joseph — Including both Ephraim and Manasseh. In Jacob's blessing that of Joseph's is the largest. And so it is here. His land — His portion shall be endowed with choice blessings from God. Of heaven — That is, the precious fruits of the earth brought forth by the influences of heaven, the warmth of the sun, and the rain which God will send from heaven. The deep — The springs of water bubbling out of the earth: perhaps it may likewise refer to the great deep, the abyss of waters, which is supposed to be contained in the earth.
