o.le.lah denotes produce left behind after gathering or shaking a crop, including the small remainder available to be collected.

The term consistently denotes the remaining produce associated with harvesting: fruit left after an olive tree is shaken, after a vintage, or by grape-gatherers. In construct forms, it is used in comparison with a vintage and in a scene where no desired fruit remains.

1. Produce remaining after harvest · dominant

   In Isaiah 17:6 and Isaiah 24:13, the plural absolute form occurs in images of a few berries remaining after an olive tree is shaken and remnants remaining after the vintage. Jeremiah 49:9 and Obadiah 1:5 place the plural absolute form in questions about what grape-gatherers would leave behind; Judges 8:2 and Micah 7:1 use plural construct forms in relation to a vintage, whether comparing its result or describing the absence of fruit to eat.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the harvest remainder with “gleaning” or “gleanings” in Isaiah 17:6, Isaiah 24:13, Jeremiah 49:9, Judges 8:2, and Obadiah 1:5. In Micah 7:1 it instead renders the surrounding scene as those who “glean the vintage”; These renderings describe the verse contexts rather than a fixed English equivalent.
