English Revised Version (ERV)

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,

Clarke's Deuteronomy 33:15 Bible Commentary

The chief things of the ancient mountains - ומראש הררי קדם umerosh harerey kedem, and from the head or top of the ancient or eastern mountains, the precious things or productions being still understood. And this probably refers to the large trees, etc., growing on the mountain tops, and the springs of water issuing from them. The mountains of Gilead may be here intended, as they fell to the half tribe of Manasseh. And the precious things of the lasting hills may signify the metals and minerals which might be digged out of them.

Wesley's Deuteronomy 33:15 Bible Commentary

33:15 The chief things - That is, the excellent fruits, as grapes, olives, figs, and c. which delight in mountains, growing upon, or the precious minerals contained in, their mountains and hills called ancient and lasting, that is, such as have been from the beginning of the world, and are likely to continue to the end of it, in opposition to those hills or mounts which have been cast up by man.
