Judges 8:3
"He said to them, “What have I now done in comparison with you? Isn’t the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?"
Key Reflection
Gideon's question underscores his humility and selflessness, highlighting that he sees his actions as insignificant compared to those around him. The comparison between the "gleaning" of grapes in Ephraim and the full vintage of Abiezer symbolizes the abundance Gideon believes others can achieve, even with lesser means or efforts.
