Locust (Heb. ‘arbeh; Gr. akrís). Common insect in Palestine, often representing a feared pest that destroys all vegetation. More than 50 different kinds of locusts are known in that country, and it is not easy to correctly identify the 9 or 10 Hebrew words that are believed to apply to the insect and describe various stages of its development. Biblical locusts are generally accepted to belong to the order Orthoptera, under which 4-winged insects are classified, specifically the migratory variety. The fully grown locust is about 5 cm or more in length, has 4 wings and 6 legs, 2 of which are for jumping only. It has jaws strong enough to cut leaves, with which they can even eat the bark of tree branches (figs 258, 259). Locusts are listed as edible in Lev 11:22, and many Easterners still eat them, usually roasted. They remove their heads, 696 legs, wings, and intestines, and eat the fleshy part. Many commentators believe that John the Baptist ate locusts, while others hold that the akris of Mat 3:4 and Mar 1:6 refer to the fruit of a carob-like variety. The locusts that invaded Egypt carried by an east wind, probably from Sinai or the Arabian desert, were used by God in the 8th plague to torment Pharaoh and the Egyptians when they refused to let the Hebrews out (Exo 10:12-19) . Plagues of locusts, like the one that probably devastated Palestine in Joel’s time, are frequently mentioned in the OT. In the vivid description of him (Jl. 1:2-7; 2:25) he mentions 4 different kinds: the cutting locust, the swarming locust, the jumping locust and the destroying locust (1:4). 302. Developing locusts crossing a wall (which illustrates Ji. 2:7 nicely). As an illustration of a severe locust plague in Palestine, we present the report of an eyewitness, H. Schneller, director of the Syrian orphanage in Jerusalem: “We had a famine in the 2nd year of the war such as had not been experienced in 50 years. The sky was darkened by gigantic sleeves of locusts that covered the entire region, and neither the sun nor the moon could be seen. All of Palestine was transformed into a desert in a few days. All the trees, from the crown to the trunk, including the bark, were peeled; our orchards, cultivated with so much effort, disappeared as if by magic. The following spring billions of larvae hatched from the eggs, consuming what little remained. The result was a terrible famine.” Below is a list of words that refer to lobsters -in their undeveloped, adult and different stages of growth- with their possible meaning. As the translations have not always been reliable, they are classified according to the Hebrew: 1. ‘Arbeh, “locust” (20 times), “lobster” (2 times), and “lobster” and “caterpillar” (once each) . The most common of the words used and the one of the 4 edible classes (Lev 11:22; would also include the grasshopper). It is thought to be the African migratory locust in its mature, winged stage, which invades a country in sleeves and spawns after devouring insatiably. This locust is very common in Palestine. Some texts that quote it: Exo 10:4-19; Jdg 6:5; 7:12; 1R. 8:37; Jer 46:23; Joel 1:4; etc. 2. Solâm, “prawn” 697 (Lev 11:22). The 2nd of the 4 edible types. It only appears in this passage, and it is believed that it may refer to the European migratory locust. 3. Jârgôl, “argol” (Lev 11:22). The 3rd edible variety. It is only mentioned in this text. The Hebrew term may describe a winged, hopping insect of the Orthoptera family, which also includes grasshoppers, locusts, and crickets. Because of the meaning of this word in related languages, some identify this insect with the jumping locust called Tettigonia vividissima. 4. Jâgâb, “hagab” (Lev 11:22). The last of the 4 groceries. Its identification is uncertain, although more than one scholar has suggested that it is the so-called Stauronotus maroccanus. Other passages that quote it, translating it “locust”, are: Num 13:33; 2Ch 7:13; Ecc 12:5; Isa 40:22 5. Gâzâm, “caterpillar” (Jl. 1:4) and “locust” (Jl. 2:25; Amo 4:9). Most likely, it refers to the 1st stage of its development, without wings, in the larval stage. Others consider it a young adult lobster. 6. Yeleq, “aphid” (Psa 105:34; Nah 3:15), “scrambler” (Jl. 1:4), “jumping” (Jl. 2:25) and “locust” (Jer 51:14, 27; Nah 3:15, 16). It is probably the locust in its hopping, flightless, walking and migratory stage. Others identify it with the newborn lobster, in an immature state, which can jump but not walk. 7 and 8. Gêb, “locust” (ls. 33:4; only occurrence); and gôbay and gôb, “locust” (Amo 7:1; Nah 3:17). Perhaps they represent “lobster sleeves.” 9. Tselâtsal, “locusts” (Deu 28:42; Isa 18:1). Perhaps it is an insect that makes the noise that expresses its name. Some scholars identify it with the cricket. 10. Jâsîl, “aphid” (1Ki 8:37; 2Ch 6:28), “caterpillar” (Psa 78:46; Isa 33:4), “locust” (Jl. 1:4) and “scrambler” (Jl 2:25). His identification is uncertain. Bodenheimer identifies her with the (cheap) cockroach, while the Danish Bruijel sees in her the adult locust at the stage when he leaves Palestine. Others consider it a mid-grown locust, when it can walk and jump but not fly. Bib.: H. Schneller, Evangelisches Sonntagsblatt für Bonn, April 26, 1925; CBA 5:296-298; PLA 313; F. Bruijel, Bijbel in Natuur (Kampen, 1939), pp 182-201; 0. R. Sellers, JAOS 53 (1933):405. Prawn. See Lobster 2. Lobster. See Lobster 1. Spear. Throwing or manual weapon (1Sa 13:22; 17:7; Joh 19:34; etc.). It consisted of a wooden rod or pole that ended in a sharp metal point. The weapon was built by forcing the piece into the shaft or by placing it in the clamp at the base of the shaft. The term is generally a translation of: 1. Heb. janîth, which in some places has been erroneously translated as “javelin” (1Sa 26:7; Job 39:23; etc.). 2. Heb. rômaj, “lance” (“lancet” in 1Ki 18:28; Jdg 5:8; Neh 4:13; etc.). This was a much longer weapon than the janîth, and was used only for rushing. The rômaj is described in the Dead Sea Scrolls “War” document as being 7 cubits long with a 1/2 cubit point. 3. gr. lógj’, most likely a long Roman spear, the one used by the Roman soldier to pierce the side of Jesus on the cross (Joh 19:34). 303. Two spearheads found in Palestine.

Latin locust. Jumping orthoptera insect, of the acridids.
It forms immense swarms that migrate and devastate crops and vegetation Dt 28, 38. One of the smallest but wisest animals, Pr 30, 24 and 27. The Bible considers the winged beasts that walk on four legs to be abominable, except for the l. and its species, and distinguishes it because in addition to its legs it has legs to jump, and classifies it as pure, Lv 11, 22, which is why it was consumed with honey due to its bitter taste, Mt 3, 4. When the pharaoh refused to let Israel out of Egypt, Yahweh, through Moses and Aaron, punished him by sending plagues on his land, including one of locusts, Ex 10, 1-20. In his oracle against Kus, that is, Egypt under the Ethiopian dynasty, Isaiah calls it “the land of rustling wings”, that is, of locusts, Is 18, 1. Joel, announcing the Day of Yahweh, speaks of the plague of locusts, with the appearance of horses, like an ordered army, which will ruin Israel, Jl 1, 1-17; 2, 3-9. This plague is also described in Rev 9, 7-9.

Jumping orthoptera insect. Mentions of it probably refer to Schistocerca gregaria. It is included within the clean animals, which could be eaten, as can be seen in the statute of Lev 11:21-22 (†œ… these ye shall eat of them: the l. according to its kind, the shrimp according to its kind, the argol according to its kind, and the Hagab according to its kind† ). That is why it is said that John the Baptist fed on it. and wild honey† (Matt 3:4).
The various Hebrew words used for this insect in the Bible have been difficult to translate. That is why it has been preferred to use the terms †œargol† and †œhagab† , which are transliterations of the Hebrew that do not appear in Spanish. Joel’s expressions referred to a plague of him. could be related to the various states through which the l passes. from the egg to the developed insect (“What was left of the caterpillar the hopper ate, and what was left of the hopper the cankerworm ate; and the l. ate what was left of the cankerworm† ). the l sometimes it multiplies in such a way that it forms true clouds that cover an area of many square kilometers, so compact that they can block the sunlight. It becomes a pest that invades the fields, feeding on the vegetation it finds and resisting all efforts made by the peasants to eradicate it. That is why it is associated in history and literature as an example of destruction.

(†œYou will take a lot of seed to the field, and you will collect little, because the l. will consume it† ), as indeed happened many times (†œHe also gave the caterpillar its fruits, and its labors to the l.† ). But if they repented and prayed, God would forgive them (1Ki 8:37-39). The term is also used figuratively to indicate abundance of number (†œ…they came with their tents in great multitude like l.† ; †œ…they will be more numerous than l., they will have no number† ). In Revelation the ideas of destruction and numerosity are united when a plague of it is described. that rises from the “bottomless pit” and that dedicates itself, not to destroying vegetation, but to tormenting men (Rev 9:1-11). †¢Bible animals.
