And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Y les dijo: '¿Qué he logrado yo comparado con lo que ustedes han hecho? ¿No son mejores las uvas que sobraron de la cosecha de Efraín que toda la vendimia que recogió Abiezer?'
Gedeón humildemente reconoce que los logros de Efraín fueron superiores a los suyos propios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse comes after Gideon's victory over the Midianites, when the tribe of Ephraim complained that they weren't called to fight from the beginning. Gideon was from the clan of Abiezer within the tribe of Manasseh, and he's diplomatically deflecting their anger by praising their later involvement in the battle. The metaphor compares grape harvesting - where even the leftovers (gleaning) from a good vineyard are better than the full harvest from a poor one.
