Rashi, on Judg 8:2

Rashi · 1040–1105
Judg 8:2 · Douay-Rheims
“And he answered them: What could I have done like to that which you have done? Is not one bunch of grapes of Ephraim better than the vintages of Abiezer?”
On this verse:
“Can any action of mine compare with yours? How significant were my actions at the beginning in comparison with yours at the end? Do not Ephraim's underripened gleanings surpass. The gleanings which you acquired at the end surpass the early harvest which my family and I gathered, for Adonoy delivered the kings into your hands.”
