כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר יִמָּצֵ֤א הַתִּירוֹשׁ֙ בָּֽאֶשְׁכּ֔וֹל וְאָמַר֙ אַל־תַּשְׁחִיתֵ֔הוּ כִּ֥י בְרָכָ֖ה בּ֑וֹ כֵּ֤ן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ לְמַ֣עַן עֲבָדַ֔י לְבִלְתִּ֖י הַֽשְׁחִ֥ית הַכֹּֽל׃
אַזױ האָט גאָט געזאָגט: אַזױ װי אַז דער װײַן געפֿינט זיך אין הענגל, זאָגט מען: זאָלסט עס ניט צעשטערן, װאָרום אַ בענטשונג איז אין אים; אַזױ װעל איך טאָן פֿון װעגן מײַנע קנעכט, ניט צו צעשטערן אין גאַנצן.
Bereshit Rabbah
Rabbi Simon began: “So said the Lord: As when wine is found in a cluster4When a single wine-producing grape is found in an inferior cluster. and one says: Do not destroy it, as a blessing is in it” (Isaiah 65:8). There was an incident involving a certain pious man, who went out to his vineyard on Shabbat and saw a lone grape and recited a blessing over it. He said: This lone grape is worthy to recite a blessing over it! So too, “So said the Lord: As when wine is found in a cluster…”5So too, Noah was like a single fine grape on a vine full of inferior ones.
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 11:19): "dagan": as it is commonly understood (i.e., corn). "tirosh": wine, as in (Yoel 2:24) "and the vats will overflow with tirosh (wine) and yitzhar (oil)." "and you will gather": Not as in (Judges 6:3-4) "And it was, whenever Israel would sow, Midian would ascend, and Amalek and the people of the east, and they would overrun it. And they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the land" — but as in (Isaiah 62:9) "For its gatherers will eat it and they will praise the L-rd, and those who bring it together will drink it in My holy courts."
