Comentário sobre Juízes 8:2
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם מֶה־עָשִׂ֥יתִי עַתָּ֖ה כָּכֶ֑ם הֲל֗וֹא ט֛וֹב עֹלְל֥וֹת אֶפְרַ֖יִם מִבְצִ֥יר אֲבִיעֶֽזֶר׃
Ele, porém, lhes respondeu: Que fiz eu agora em comparação ao que vós fizestes? Não são porventura os rabiscos de Efraim melhores do que a vindima de Abiezer?
Rashi on Judges
Can any action of mine compare with yours? How significant were my actions at the beginning in comparison with yours at the end?

Rashi on Judges
Do not Ephraim's underripened gleanings surpass. The gleanings1 עוֹלְלוֹת are underripened grapes which may not be harvested, but must be left to be gleaned afterward by the poor. (Vayikra, 19:10) Gidon compared his original battle with the Midyonites to the harvest, and the ensuing execution of Orev and Z’ev to the gleaning of the עוֹלְלוֹת. which you acquired at the end surpass the early harvest which my family and I gathered, for Adonoy delivered the kings into your hands.
