לחסיל יבולם ויגיעם לארבה
וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לֶחָסִ֣יל יְבוּלָ֑ם וִֽ֝יגִיעָ֗ם לָאַרְבֶּֽה ׃
וַיִּתֵּן לֶחָסִיל יְבוּלָם וִֽיגִיעָם לָאַרְבֶּֽה ׃
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
gave also: Psalms 105:34, Psalms 105:35, Exodus 10:12-15, Joel 1:4-7, Joel 2:25, Amos 7:1, Amos 7:2, Revelation 9:2-11
the caterpillar: Chosal, from chasal, to consume, eat up, is rendered ×ס××¥××Ϛ or ×ס××¥×§××¢ by the LXX, in 2 Chronicles 6:28, and Aquila here, and also the Vulgate in Chron. and Isaiah 33:4 and Jerome here, bruchus, the chaffer, which every one knows to be a great devourer of the leaves of trees. The Syriac in Joel 1:4; Joel 2:25, renders it tzartzooro, which Michaelis, from the Arabic tzartzar, a cricket, interprets the mole-cricket, which in its grub state is also very destructive to corn, grass, and other vegetables, by cankering the roots on which it feeds.
Reciprocal: Exodus 10:14 - the locusts Exodus 10:15 - did eat Haggai 2:17 - in all
Gill's Notes on the Bible
He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar,.... A kind of locust, and the same with the locust in the next clause; for we read but of the locust only in Exodus 10:13
and their labour unto the locust; which devoured the increase of the field, all green grass and trees, all sorts of corn, wheat, barley and rye, and the increase of vineyards, and all fruit trees, on which much labour had been used to manure and cultivate; see Revelation 9:3 this was the eighth plague.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar - The increase or the produce of their fields. Exodus 10:12-14. The word ×ס×× chaÌsıÌyl - is supposed to denote a species of locust rather than the caterpillar. It literally means the devourer. In our version, however, it is uniformly rendered caterpillar as here; 1Ki 8:37; 2 Chronicles 6:28; Isaiah 33:4; Joel 1:4; Joel 2:25. It occurs nowhere else.
And their labor unto the locust - The fruit of their labor; the harvests in their fields.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 78:46. The caterpillar and - the locust. — See on Exodus 10:13.
