In Judges 6:5; 7:12; Job 39:30; Jeremiah 46:23 , where the Authorized Version has "grasshopper," the Revised Version more correctly renders the Hebrew word ('arbeh) by "locust." This is the case also in Amos 7:1; Nahum 3:17 , where the Hebrew word Gob Is used; and in Leviticus 11:22; Numbers 13:33; Ecclesiastes 12:5; Isaiah 40:22 , where Hagab is used. In all these instances the proper rendering is probably "locust" (q.v.).
