Rashi
ואספת דגנך AND THOU SHALT GATHER IN THY CORN means: and thou shalt gather it into thy house, and not thy enemies, just as it is said, (Isaiah 62:8—9) “[The Lord hath sworn … ], surely I will no more give thy corn [to be food for thine enemies], but they that have gathered it shall eat it”; and not as it is said, (Judges 6:3) “And so it was when Israel had sown that the Midianites came up [and destroyed the produce of the land]” (Sifrei Devarim 42:10).
Ramban
G-D ‘OSAPH’ (HATH TAKEN AWAY) MY DISGRACE. I.e., “He has laid it up somewhere where it cannot be seen.” Similar examples are: And it shall not ‘yei’aseph’ (have been taken away) into the house;144Exodus 9:19. And the stars ‘asphu’ (withdraw) their shining;145Joel 2:10. Neither shall thy moon ‘yei’aseph’ (withdraw itself),146Isaiah 60:20. meaning it shall not hide itself. This is the language of Rashi. But Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra said that asaph has the same meaning as “vanish,” as in, ‘Vene’esaph’ (And vanish) will joy and gladness.147Ibid., 16:10.
The correct opinion is that of Onkelos, who made them all expressions of gathering and assembling, as is their plain sense, derived from the verses: ‘Vaya’asphu’ (And they gathered) the quails;148Numbers 11:32. But ‘me’asphav’ (they who have garnered it) shall eat it.149Isaiah 62:9. Death is called asiphah150Above, 25:8. because the dying person is gathered to his dead ancestors. And it shall not ‘yei’aseph’ into the house144Exodus 9:19. means to be gathered to his household. And the stars ‘asphu’ their shining145Joel 2:10. means that they will gather the light within them and not give forth their light outside, or that they will be gathered into their tent, which is in the firmament of the heaven.151See Psalms 19:5, mentioned above, Note 127 The word asiphah is used in connection with disgrace, meaning that the disgraced person should be gathered and not spread among people, i.e., to be discussed further in the streets.
